Welcome to St Thomas'! We are a small, but growing, church in the heart of the Groves area of York. We are committed to reaching out into our local community – serving people who are in need, and above all showing God’s love as best we can. We want to celebrate what God is doing in this wonderful part of His world. 

Although we normally meet together each Sunday at 10.30am, and we hope that people find our gatherings welcoming, family-friendly, and full of God’s presence, because of the coronavirus pandemic we are not able to meet in person but instead are moving online and making other provisions for pastoral support.

If you live in this part of York, you can be assured that we are praying that God will richly bless you and that you will know his love and goodness in your life. 

 

There's lots happening on our facebook page with talks, services, children's stuff and chat.  You'll find us here.

St Thomas News - 10th July 2020

Dear Church,

We are working on developing new things and a new rhythm as the guidelines change. Hopefully this little summary will help:

Sunday Livestreams will continue as the main 'service' for some time to come. It seems many people are engaging with these and so we want to retain this focus for the life of our community.
This Sunday, join again on Facebook or Youtube at 10.30am. The wonderful Louise Barclay will be sharing with us about unity. And a new option - those who've been on the Zoom calls (leading prayers, etc) have fed back that this gives more of a sense of being 'involved' in the service. So, if you would like to be on the call (you would not appear or be heard on what is broadcast, but you would be able to see some other people) please join the Zoom meeting between 10.20 and 10.25am (ID 631 970 6882). Give it a go!

Verse of the Week 


"The Father has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

Colossians 1.12-14

This fits in with the daily Bible readings for next week. A video will soon appear on Facebook and YouTube:

Maya and Eddy James provide an overview of a new St Thomas’ community project offering help to those in need during the coronavirus crisis

It’s often said that we are all in the same boat when it comes to the coronavirus crisis. But that isn’t really true. While we are all weathering the same storm, we are in a number of different boats.

Home Groups during the Pandemic

Our home groups continue to meet online during the Covid19 pandemic.  This is a great way to stay in touch, feel supported and encourage others.  If you aren't yet in a group but would like to be, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Join us on Facebook and YouTube  for our Sunday morning service live from the vicarage. Have you missed the sounds of children running around, and going a bit crackers while the service goes on?? Fear not, there are even some built in to this special edition. So find a comfy chair, a screen and grab a coffee and we'll see you at 10.30am. If you want to join a small group, a group of 10 or so believers who meet together by video chat and discuss the sermon, and pray together mid-week, get in touch, we'd love you to join us. See you on Sunday! You'd be so welcome.
