There are four anthems by Herbert Howells that are suitable for Christmas or spiritual contemplation. The spirituals include "Balm in Gilead" and "My Lord, What A Mourning".

Friends -

HELLO FROM SUNNY PHOENIX, ARIZONA! I arrived here just a few days ago after a long drive across the country that took me through 11 states and through the homes of a number of friends and family members. I am keeping myself quite busy getting things in order to begin my Master's program in Higher and Postsecondary Education at Arizona State University.

Your participation is needed in a discernment process that St. Thomas’ is undertaking, a process whereby the parish’s needs and wants for physical space and facilities are recognized, identified, and communicated.  In other words, a process that answers the question:  What is God calling St. Thomas to accomplish in our building?

On Sunday February 10th, 17th & 24th the St. Thomas’ community was invited to attend meetings to determine whether or not the parish was “of a mind” to move forward in our discernment journey, which included the hiring of a financial (fund-raising) consultant and an architect. Of those who attended the meetings and voted, the final tally was 68 people who voted “Yes” to move forward; 2 persons voted “No”. The financial consultant will guide us in determining how much money we will be able to raise from within the parish membership for a building campaign, which could include a renovation as well as new construction. Our architects will conduct an investigation of our current support systems and building structures as well as render some simple architectural drafts of possibility in response to the discernment meetings. These next two steps will help us determine if St. Thomas’ is in a position to move forward with either a renovation and/or a building campaign.
