The Heart of Who We Are
Worship is our response to the transforming love of God given to all people in the gospel of Jesus Christ. At St. Thomas, worship is the heart of our life together. It unites us in our diversity, and all of our ministries spring from our worship. The Holy Eucharist, celebrated every Sunday, provides a balance of word and sacraments—scriptural reading, preaching and prayer, enriched by Jesus’ own presence in the mystery of Holy Communion.
Our worship tradition is richly adorned with symbolism in an atmosphere of warmth and welcome. We cherish participation in the liturgy and encourage parishioners of all ages, children as well as adults, to assist in various ways. We delight in God’s gift of music to elevate our praises and draw us closer to God’s presence. We value challenging preaching to guide us in a complex world. In our worship, as in all of our ministries, we joyfully offer God the best we have.
