Five priests and deacons have been called to serve this community and more are considering affiliating with us. They and dedicated lay workers provide counseling, healing and spiritual guidance. The gifts of the spirit are apparent here in abundance. While we enjoy this blessing, working here can be a challenge for clergy. While they have never complained, it is apparent that we are not providing them with an environment that helps them in their work.
Office space is limited and cramped and often uncomfortable.
Remodeling and reorganizating of the office wing will allow us to better meet the needs of the clergy and those who seek their care. New offices will be large enough to allow both individual and group counseling in comfortable spaces. More offices will help us continue to attract and accommodate excellent clergy as we continue to grow. By providing a decent office wing we will be showing in very real terms that we respect the work they do among us and we honor their help as we face life s challenges. Church Staff and Lay Leaders St. Thomas is truly a church of the people.
