Welcome To Saint Thomas Eastern Orthodox Church
St. Thomas Church is a vibrant, God-worshiping community of Orthodox Christians committed to fulfilling the body, mind and spiritual needs of all people.
What to Expect
You will experience a sensory smorgasbord of sights, sounds and smell. You’ll first notice that the fragrant scent of the church is a surprise. If you’re there for a service, you’ll see folks milling about, lighting candles (a symbol of Christ) and offering prayers before colorful paintings, icons including icons of Jesus and His Mother (known by the original Greek of “Theotokos” which means “Mother of God”). Usually, someone will come up to you and welcome you, perhaps asking your name so the priest can welcome you after the service.

Lord, Send Me
Start date: December 2011 84 minutes, 35 seconds in 4 episodes
“Lord Send Me!” is named for that beautiful passage in the Prophecy of Isaiah, Chapter 6, wherein, when asked by the Lord, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”, the Prophet replies, “Here am I, send me!”. In the podcast Send Me! Fr John Parker shares his thoughts and reflections on Evangelization—sharing the Good News—in North America. He encourages all listeners to share Isaiah’s bold humility to bear witness to the work of the One True God in their lives in word and in deed.

We can choose to perpetuate our anxieties, despair, and defeatist attitudes or we can choose a better way.
