30 HR. FAST:

This year the youth of St. Thomas’ will be joined by several other churches in the Oshawa Deanery to participate in a 30 hour fast on Good Friday and Saturday. The money raised by our youth will be going to support The Refuge, a drop-in centre for homeless teens. Your pledges and support would be greatly appreciated. As well as pledges, we are also collecting the following badly needed items for the refuge.

  • Juice (tins and bottles)
  • Laundry detergent ( H.E. kind only)
  • White socks of all sizes
  • Deodorant
  • Large towels
Any questions, please speak with Michelle, Tony or Megan.

What it means to be a Christian

Christian life is lived in relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and in common with other Christians in the church seeking to deepen that relationship and to follow the way that Jesus taught.

For Christians God is understood and known as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Father God is love, caring for creation and for every human being as God's beloved child.

Son God is as he has revealed himself to be in the historical person of Jesus Christ. Jesus' life, death and resurrection holds the key to knowing and loving God, and to making sense of life, before and after death.

and Holy Spirit God is alive, loving and active today, inspiring faith, justice and truth, sustaining the life of the world, giving spiritual gifts to the church and bearing his spiritual fruit in the world - changed lives and a transformed society.
