All are welcome.



A Special Guest

Last Sunday, the children learned about St. Nicholas of Myra, a generous gift-giver and lover of children. For this Upfront Sunday, the children joined Jonah at the altar for a child-centered homily...and a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself!

Love Wrapped Up



High School and Middle School Youth will meet on Sunday, December 21 from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. to organize and wrap the gifts donated by our parish for families served by the Advocates. Bring a friend!

Spare Me

On Tuesday, December 2, the Middle School Youth Group had a fun night of bowling at Sun Valley Resort. The youth group meets every other Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 pm, and all middle school youth are invited!

Check out our Activity Kits

If your child would like to join you during worship, please ask an usher for an activity kit. Each bag contains a children's book, a lacing card, a drawing pad, along with sensory and fidget toys. We hope your child enjoys these activities! Please return the kit to an usher after the service.

Christmas Eve Nativity Pageant

Many traditions at St. Thomas are special, but the magic of Christmas is ever present in the children's faces and youth voices that share the Christmas Nativity Story. Youth readers share the story of Christmas from scripture and children process during Christmas carols. We need youth readers and children to play all the characters.
