What’s summer without a little shopping? You can start at the St. Thomas’ Store at Cafe Press –for Gifts or T-Shirts (for you or your four-legged friend) or Notecards or a Calendar.
If you’d like something more serious and lots of fun at the same time, why not order a Gene Robinson DVD?
Located at 18th and Church Streets NW, St. Thomas’ Parish, one of Washington’s most historic Episcopal churches, has long been a landmark in the Dupont Circle neighborhood since the laying of its cornerstone in 1894. Today, the church serves a diverse congregation representative of the eclectic demographics in the Greater Washington area.
That’s one of the reasons we’re proud to be an active supporter of Capital Pride each year– including our favorite part — THE PARADE!
Come see us and learn about our welcoming, diverse, and flourishing congregation offering God’s all-inclusive hospitality. St. Thomas’ offers you numerous opportunities for worship, service and spiritual enrichment including outreach to young adults, ongoing servant ministry and social activities.
Are you shopping for something money just doesn’t seem to buy? Are You Church Curious? We hope you’ll join us sometime at St. Thomas — a place to find, and be found by, God. Come just as you are. But plan to leave changed. Love does that to us all.
John 20:19-31
Mar 10th
A number of Biblical stories tell of appearances of Jesus to his disciples, risen from the dead. This one in the Gospel of John is about “doubting Thomas,” who wasn’t going to believe just anybody; so he said to Jesus: “Show me!”
19When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” 22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” 24But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
26A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” 28Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.”
