Gardening as Spiritual Practice

We’re delighted to welcome the Rev. Pamela Dolan to St. Thomas on Sunday, July 24th when she will preach and lead our Adult Education class after coffee hour. Pamela is the author of Contemplative Gardening, which Church Publishing describes as “an enchanting guide for turning the art of gardening into opportunities for reflection and meditation.”

Please plan to join us. If you want to read the book in advance you can order it from all the usual places!

Inquirer’s Class with Jonah and Kathleen

Sunday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.

July 24, 31

Have you ever wondered…What’s an Anglican? How did the Episcopal Church come about, and how is it different from other denominations? What is going on up at the altar during the service? What’s the right way to pray? How are the scriptures relevant to our lives today? How does St. Thomas make a difference in our community?

Join Jonah and Kathleen for a thought-provoking conversation addressing these questions and more. This class is for everyone who would like to learn more about Christian faith and practice, the Episcopal Church, or would like to be confirmed or

received at our Bishop’s next visit.

July 24: Scripture

July 31: Spiritual Practices, and Ministry Today at St. Thomas

Questions: Contact Jonah or Kathleen!
