Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4 v 6-7
St. Thomas's has a thriving congregation with a wide range of ages from children, through families young and old, to those who remember the 'new' St. Thomas's opening in 1934. All are welcome and, we hope, made to feel part of the church family as we join together in praising His name.
If a church Electoral Roll is any measure, we now have almost 200 people as members of our church with growing Sunday attendances.
We have a thriving Junior Church (Sunday School) in classes from ages 3-11 and strong Christian links with our Youth Organisations.
Time to introduce ourselves:

David Jewell David has lived in the parish (almost) all his life. David's availability for seemingly every service and church event leads to some of the children thinking that we keep him locked in a cupboard in the vestry! |
