Outreach Ministries and Support
The Episcopal Book of Common Prayer asks the question: Q.What is the duty of all Christians? Answer. The duty of all Christians is to follow Christ; to come together week by week for corporate worship; and to work, pray, and give for the spread of the kingdom of God. ____________________________________________________ The membership of St. Thomas is spreading the Good News about the kingdom of God through the following local ministries.
