Easter Vigil Baptism – April 20

By Upcoming Events

On April 20, Saint Thomas will hold a baptism service during its 8pm Easter Vigil service. As baptized Christians, we are to take our place in the “life, worship and governance of the Church”. Our duty is to “work, pray, and give for the spread of the kingdom of God.” Thus, we are compelled to invite and welcome all to know, to experience and to share in the Christian life we lead (BCP 855-6). One way we invite others to experience the life of Christ is through the sacrament of baptism. By inviting family members or those in the community to take their first step in their walk with Christ, we carry out Christ’s work of reconciliation, while welcoming newcomers to our Saint Thomas community. For those interested in baptism, we will have a one-hour Introductory class on baptism following the 10am service on Palm Sunday, April 14 in the…

Confirmation – May 26

By Christian Formation, Upcoming Events

Are you seeking for something more out of your spiritual life? If so, then take the next step in your spiritual journey here at St. Thomas: Confirmation. Confirmation is a sacramental rite in which candidates “express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop” (BCP, p. 860). It is both a public affirmation of your faith and a public commitment to live up to the responsibilities of your baptism. Consider it a way for you to stand before God and St. Thomas to say, “With God’s help, I will better serve God and God’s people.” On Sunday, May 26, Bishop Wayne Smith will confirm potential candidates during our 10am service. If interested, sign up at the back table for our upcoming three-week Confirmation classes. During our time together, you will: Understand the basics of Christianity…
