Pastoral care ministry (Contact: Jill Muntz)
Lay pastoral caregivers provide spiritual support to fellow parishioners in crisis. The caregiver offers a hand to hold and a heart to care. Caregivers cannot eliminate problems, but provide prayerful companionship to those confronting them. Pastoral Care is a ministry of Presence -- simple and profound.

Healing prayer ministry (Contact: Bob Strauss, Susie Hansen)
Those who are in the healing prayer ministry offer prayers for healing with the laying on of hands during the Communion Service at the 10 am service on Sunday. This is available in the chapel near the parish hall after receiving communion. Come on behalf of yourself or another. If prayers are needed at another time please call anyone who is in this ministry.

Prayer chain ministry (Contact: Doris Zappala)
The important practice of intercessory prayer -- prayer for others -- finds expression in the St. Thomas Church Prayer Chain. We pray daily for those who we have been asked to pray for. These may be parishioners, friends, relatives, and others in the wider community. Prayer Chain requests are at the church chapel and at Edgerton House in St. Christopher's Chapel. The first names are usually read during the Prayers of the People on Sundays. The names are also in the bulletin for those who would like to pray for them during the week.

Foyer groups (Contact: Alice Dantos)
The purpose of the foyer dinners is to convene parishioners for social interaction and good food. The meals are potluck, and groups of interested people are randomly grouped.

Sunday coffee hours (Contact: Sally Hillman Redman)
We enjoy coffee, food, and fellowship together in the parish hall after the 10 am service. Parishioners volunteer as hosts.
