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 - 22nd May 2020

Dear Church,

Online activities continue! On Sunday at 10.30am is live-streamed worship. This time with guest preacher, Chris Wilson!
This week, I will again use some informal liturgy and take bread and wine as part of the service. I encourage you to participate at home in whatever way you find appropriate and helpful.
The songs in the service will be: Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun; Our God is a Great Big God (with actions); I Lift My Hands (Andre Kempen); Fullness (Elevation Worship - a new one for us); When I Was Lost (Kate Simmonds).

Yesterday was Ascension Day, and a week on Sunday it's Pentecost. This time of year we've recently been involved with the 'Thy Kingdom Come' wave of prayer. Although things are different this time, there are plenty of online resources and an app from TKC. Here in York the House of Prayer is organizing 48 hours pf prayer from 9am on Friday, for which you can sign up to pray from home. There will also be a worship event on Friday 29th, 3-9pm (on Facebook) and a prayer meeting on Sat 30th, 7-8pm (on Zoom). All the details here
There will also be a special Pentecost service for York in the evening - details to follow.

I have been recording some videos on 'How to Read the Bible' aimed to give you more confidence in your personal Bible reading. You can find them on the St Thomas' Facebook page and YouTube channel. They keep coming!

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.
