Major Visioning Update


We invite you to take 10 minutes as Jonah Kendall, LeeAnne Linderman and David Lister provide important information about the visioning process as it stands currently and what to look for in the coming months. Click below to view!

The Adult Education Series: Faith and Belief continues this Sunday after the 9:30 a.m. service with a focus on Lent.

Rector's Discussion Group

The Rector’s Discussion Group continues this Winter with a study of Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. In addition to establishing Paul’s theology of Christ’s grace, this Epistle asks its readers to consider what benefit Christ is to them (Gal 5:2). Has Christ’s grace changed the way we live? Or is life the same old, same old? Do we truly appreciate that in Christ “there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer man and woman” (Gal 3:28)? Or do we see one another as the world would have us see each other?  Have our souls, our minds and our hearts been set free by the spirit, or are we still bound by what Paul calls the flesh?

 

This gathering facilitated by Jonah meets via zoom at 12pm on Wednesdays. Contact stefanie@stthomassv.org for the zoom link.
