Hello faith family! Sunday, May 30, 2021 is Trinity Sunday. We will be streaming LIVE from St. Thomas’s at 9 a.m. via our YouTube channel and here are the accompanying service program and the service program in large print.
Services will also be open to in-person worship with all precautions in place and with sign-ups. However, please do not feel pressure to return until you are ready; all services will still be available on our YouTube channel. Please do not hesitate to contact the office or Fr. Howie with any questions or concerns about these options.
See this week’s “The Nicene Creed” topic in the Praying Shapes Believing series. Also, please note that we have updated our web address to StThomasNewarkDE.church. The former address stthomasparish.org redirects you to the new address of StThomasNewarkDE.church.

In this strange pandemic time, the church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to your church or online giving. See our Giving information.

Regardless of whether we are together in-person or virtually, we are connected by the Holy Spirit: Always together; never apart…maybe in distance, but never in heart.
I look forward to worshiping together on Sunday!
