Welcome to St Thomas' in the Groves! 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 - 15th April 2020

Dear Church,

This Sunday we are experimenting with an All Age service online! For those families who are receiving 'church in a bag', the livestream service will be part of the activities for this week - we'll be looking at the book of Ruth. A few things about the service:
- If you don't get 'church in a bag', you may want to have a leaf to hand for the prayer activity which Charlotte will be leading.
- We hope to have actions from Joel and Lois, so we won't have words on screen. The three action songs will be: All Through History; Because of God's Great Love; and I Give Thanks.

Verse Of The Week

Groves Groceries

Maya and Eddy James provide an overview of the St Thomas’ community project which concluded on July 22nd.

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.

PCC AND ANNUAL MEETING


We had a PCC meeting on Tuesday 22nd September, and an overview of that meeting is here, so please do keep in touch with what's going on by having a read. We decided we would have our Annual Meeting, which this year will sadly have to take place on Zoom, on November 15th (we will have a special online service, then the formal meeting). At that meeting, there will be elections to the PCC (governing body of the church), so do let me know if you would be interested in standing or finding out more.

 

 

 

 

Uniting in Prayer

Daily prayers for members of St Thomas'

Here is a downloadable form of St Thomas' Daily Prayer 

You may like to use this short form of prayer as a way of being part of the community of St Thomas Church.  

It can be used as it is, or in conjunction with the prayer diary.

You can also find Al's `Verse of the Week' video on youtube.  

 

Supporting Louise

It was great to pray for and 'send out' Louise in the online service on 2nd August. The good news is that her Stewardship give.net page is now set up! You can go to the page to support Louise financially either as a one-off gift or regular amount.

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..
