Dear Ones,
I wrote a long update to the folks who are running the national church growth program we are privileged to be a part of, and I was pretty proud. We are doing good things, exciting things. And while there are details and planning and work involved, it is so worth it. If our community doesn't know about St. Thomas Episcopal Church, they simply aren't paying attention. I hope you have found something you are passionate about that you can help with because we need you!
This Saturday is our Kite Fly from 1-3 at Wallace Lake. Tell friends and family to bring kids to fly a kite. It should be fun. And please pray that our efforts to go into the neighborhood bear much fruit.
See you this weekend!

On behalf of all of the wonderful Christians who are part of our faith community,thank you so much for visiting our Internet home! We encourage you to visit the various areas of the site to learn more about what we have to offer.
At St. Thomas, we do our utmost to provide gracious hospitality to all we encounter, both within the doors of our lovely church and outside in the world at large.

Our charming parish church has been serving Berea and the Southwest portion of Cuyahoga County, Ohio (the Cleveland area) since 1893 in this location, and for many years before that in others. We are nestled in the midst of the beautifulBaldwin-Wallace college campus and just one block from the quaint downtown historic district of Berea.
We cordially invite you to come and worship with us next time you are in the area! We very much look forward to personally greeting you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and introducing you to our active and growing community of believers at St. Thomas Episcopal Church!
Yours in Christ,![]()
