Byron Smalley has been attending St. Thomas’ for almost four years, having moved to the DC area from San Francisco in 2003. He was baptized and confirmed in his late 30s at a small, very intimate parish while living in San Francisco.

Saturday, April 26th saw the third annual "Rites Of Spring Gala" for St. Thomas' Parish.  There were many in attendance and the HRC facilities were wonderfully suited to our needs.  I love events like this where you get to see everyone let their hair down (and it was down, believe me!).  There are many great pictures taken by Louie Stewart in our online gallery.

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?

Plan to be part of our Second Annual Service for the Affirmation of Couples living out their lives in committed relationship which will be held in our park on June 8th at 6:30pm. For those members who are new to the parish, the participants last year found the service to be a moving and affirming celebration. This was true for both the couples and their friends who attended to be a part of this special day. It reaffirmed the importance of our spiritual community in our lives and provided us with a great opportunity share our radical hospitality with our guests.

“Favor and Rest in the Lord…”

What does it mean to find favor and rest in God? What does this mean for us today? Come join us as we reflect, share and grow together while pondering these questions and more at the St. Thomas’ Parish Retreat. This is your opportunity to get away for a weekend to a place where you can relax and be refreshed physically, mentally and spiritually.
