In the 6th Century, Benedict of Nursia founded a religious community and wrote for it set of guidelines on how Christians (monks in his case) ought to live a godly and peaceable life together, "The Rule of St Benedict".

It strikes a balance between the needs and goals of the individual and the community, and is known especially for its emphasis on moderation in all things. In 15 centuries since it was written, it has influenced the lives of countless Christians, those living in religious communities and those living in the secular world.

Join us as we read "Rule", as it was at it's birth and as it is lived today. For source material, we will draw on the Rule as originally written and on "St Benedict's Toolbox: The Nuts and Bolts of Everyday Benedictine Living", by Jane Tomaine (an Episcopal priest).

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. 

Whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey as God’s beloved, you are worthy and welcome here!

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.

A relaxed and friendly group that meets at the church on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. to discuss the lessons for the following Sunday. Come every week or drop in when you can for some new perspectives on familiar stories and maybe some speculation about where the sermon will go!

Welcome to St Thomas Children’s Ministry 2023-2024!! We are very excited about our plans to come together as a ministry and as a community of “wondering believers”. And we hope that many new and old friends will join us this year.

Our mission in Children’s Ministries remains the same: to give our children a safe, loving place to discover and experience the living and present God. We strive to give our children new and exciting ways to discover more about God and who God is calling to them to be.

Family Church Sundays: Every last Sunday of the month will be family Church Sunday. On these
days, children will attend the full service with their families. On these days, families will be
invited to fulfill service roles in the church. A SignUp Genius will be available beginning in
October for families to sign up to serve together. Training will be available as needed.


For more info, visit Children's Ministry at our website: Children’s Ministries – St. Thomas's Episcopal Parish (stthomasnewarkde.church) or contact Belinda Young-Payne at St. Thomas’s by phone at (302) 388-4017. or via email at belmar43@aol.com.
