Join us LIVE on YouTube:www.youtube.com/channe.....smiNg

During the COVID-19 pandemic, St. Thomas’s is alive and well. We are worshiping via live streaming on YouTube (See our YouTube Channel and hit Subscribe!), and in person with precautions. The full-text bulletins for our services can be found on our website, and by email request. 

We also continue to respond to the needs of the Newark community through our collaboration with the Newark Empowerment Center and others. Those who would like to support our work may do so by going to our “Giving to St Thomas’s” page. Our prayers are with all those who are ill, all who are caring for them, and all who are striving to hear the voice of God in these challenging times. May God bless you and keep you, now and always.

Children's Ministry

ALL God's Children are Welcome to join in our children's Sunday School.  Weather permitting, we are meeting in the courtyard in front of the church; and, if we are inside, we will meet in the undercroft.  All participants are required to wear masks, and we observe social distancing and precautions.

Every month, the last Sunday of the month is Family Church Sunday.  On these days, children attend worship with their families, there is no regular Sunday School prior to the service, and ALL are encouraged to participate: ushering, reading, hospitality, etc.

For information, please email Belinda: belmar43@aol.com

In-Person Drive/Walk-Through Communion and Prayers

ALL are Welcome! for Prayers and Communion

Drive through, walk up, skate by, ride your bike – we will read the confession, Fr Howie will offer absolution, and we will read the Lord’s Prayer (from a card to be provided), and then the Host will be offered as we do presently in church – in small plastic cups. Masks and hand sanitizer will be in use. The normal assumption will be that those coming to receive the Eucharist will have attended the 9:00 a.m. service virtually.

UD Ballroom Dancers- public class


Meets in the Great Hall


Classes are $15 for students and $35 for non-students (for the whole four-week session).

What if I have no dance experience?
Don't worry, most people are beginners. We tailor each class to fit the level of the participants.

What do I wear?
Any comfortable clothing will do. We do ask that you wear comfortable shoes that are securely attached to your feet. Anything that has a tendency to slip off is potentially dangerous. For women, heels are alright if you are comfortable in them, but under 3" is preferred. If you don't feel comfortable wearing heels, flats or sneakers are fine.

How do I register for a public class?
Just show up 10 to 15 minutes early for the first class of the session. The beginning of each session can be found on the calendar. We will ask you to submit your payment and fill out a short contact information sheet for our records in case of emergency cancellations.

If I come with a partner will I be dancing with him/her the entire time?
We encourage rotation of partners during class because it helps the learning process; however, it is not required.
Meets in the Great Hall.
