Volunteer for the 2020 National Homeless Count

By Upcoming Events

Please consider joining the 2020 St. Thomas Team for approximately 4-5 hours on Thursday, January 23, to help with the 2020 National Homeless Count. Members of St. Thomas have been participating in this event since 2017. One year, we met John, a 43-year-old veteran, living in his car. He was between jobs, evicted from his apartment, saving what he could to pay the deposit and first and last month’s rent for a new apartment. Everything he owned was packed into his compact SUV. That night the temperature was close to freezing. When we saw his car full of belongings, we stopped to get his story and give him some clean socks, toiletries and food we’d brought along. Why do we need to know his story? There are special funds and resources available depending on the needs of the homeless population but unless we ask, we don’t know their needs! For…

Parish Elections – January 2020

By News, Upcoming Events

On January 19, 2020 (the same day as our Annual Meeting) we will hold our parish Elections for the three members who are rolling off of our nine member Vestry at the end of 2019: Jean Edwards, Charles Mullins and me. Vestry members serve three year terms. We also will elect an Endowment committee member to replace Jerry Knight, as well as one delegate and one alternate for the Annual Convention. Jean Edwards has served out the remainder of Boyd Richie’s term as delegate, and so we now need to elect a delegate for a three year term, as well as one alternate. The Vestry serves as the Board of Directors for the church in its capacity as a nonprofit Texas corporation. Also, according to the Vestry Handbook by Christopher Weber: “The vestry of an Episcopal church has three primary responsibilities. The first two are managerial: to take care of…

Connecting at St. Thomas – Kimbell Art Museum visit

By Upcoming Events

Please join us Tuesday, January 7 at 9:00 am in the North Parking Lot so that we may car pool to the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth to see Renoir’s first major exhibition focusing on the human form. Over the course of his long career, Pierre-Auguste Renoir continually turned to the human figure for artistic inspiration. The body—particularly the nude—was the defining subject of Renoir’s artistic practice from his early days as a student copying the old masters in the Louvre to the early twentieth century, when his revolutionary style of painting inspired the masters of modernism. In recognition of the centenary of Renoir’s death, the Clark Art Institute and Kimbell Art Museum present Renoir: The Body, The Senses. This daring exhibition is the first major exploration of Renoir’s unceasing interest in the human form, and it reconsiders Renoir as a constantly evolving artist whose style moved from Realism…
