Adults @ St. Thomas'
Adult Formation
We're trying out a new adult formation model this fall! Instead of offering a forum every Sunday, we'll offer short series and one-time conversations on set dates. These will take place in person on Sunday mornings, or on Zoom on weekday evenings. All virtual links will be provided closer to the program date in your weekly Ecommunique.
Virtue, Vice, and the Sermon on the Mount | Sun. Oct. 6, 13, & 20 @ 9:30 am (nursery available)
In this three-week, multi-media series, Rob Peck will lead us in an inquiry into the unique demands of Christian virtue and how that conforms to – or conflicts with – the life that our contemporary culture encourages.
Writing Prayers of the People | Tues. Oct 29 @ 7 pm on Zoom
Join Dale in brainstorming ideas for a parish-specific version of Prayers of the People for use in worship later this year.
Rethinking Sin | Sun. Nov. 10 @ 9:30 am (nursery available)
Join Deacon Christine to explore the concept of sin, what it is and what it isn’t, in this discussion inspired by the book Into the Wilderness: Understanding the True Nature of Sin, by the Rev. Kenneth Swanson.
King David and Political Power | Tues. Nov. 12 & 19 @ 7 pm on Zoom
In this short Bible study, Dale will explore David’s journey from shepherd boy to king, as well as the ways that he uses political power. We’ll ask what scripture is saying about the effect of political power on those who have it, and the manner in which that power could and should be used.
Working for Racial Justice in the Diocese | Sun. Dec. 8 @ 9:30 am (nursery available)
Join the Rev. Dr. J. Lee Hill, Jr., the Canon for Racial Justice & Healing for the Diocese, for a discussion of his work, its goals, and how individuals and parishes can get involved.

Men's Corps
The Men's Corps is a group of men who organize for the purposes of fellowship and service. The big event of the year for St. Thomas' Men's Corps is OystoberFest. The Men's Corps has been the central organization behind this fun event for over 13 years. We organize everything from the oysters, to the music stage, to the kids zone, to the volunteers that help put it on. So come on out for fun, fellowship, and helping out your neighbor! The St. Thomas' Men's Corps needs YOU!!! Contact Dan Hicks, Robert Wyant, or Larry Meier for more info.
Women of St. Thomas'
The Women of St. Thomas' join together in fellowship for speakers, social events, and projects to raise funds for our Anne Woodrum Board Scholarships. These scholarships are given to high school seniors who have contributed to the life of St. Thomas over the years. We have had a variety of fundraiser events such as our Taco Fiesta, Winter Women's Retreat to Shrine Mont, and selling Eliza Askin prints of St. Thomas'. All women are welcome to attend any and all events, and suggestions for speakers and events are encouraged.
