WORSHIP AT ST. THOMAS
"Filling People With God's Love"
Sunday morning worship 9:00am (June-August)  10:00am (September-May)
(Coffee and conversation follow our Sunday morning worship and childcare is provided in our nursery)

Two important aspects that form our worship life together are:

1) We believe all are welcome.
In our worship time we strive to live out our belief that,  "No matter, who you
are, or where you are on life's journey--you are welcome here."  We welcome
and rejoice in the presence of children in our midst.  During our worship we do
provide a children's sermon as well as coloring and activities pages.  

2) We believe the sacraments are for all who profess Jesus as Lord and Savior.  
Therefore, in accordance with the tradition of the United Church of Christ--we practice "open"
communion as well as infant and adult baptism for all who seek it.
       SPREAD THE LOVE


Beecher Memorial's renewal has been supported by funds
from Strengthen the church. Last year, Beecher joined your
church and thousands of other UCC congregations in
supporting Strengthens the Church. Your gift to this special
offering grows the UCC's future by funding The Still speaking
Ministry, new and renewing churches, youth and young adult
ministries, and lay and pastoral leadership formation -
especially among women and people of color. Your offerings
are directed to your church's Conference, Local Church
Ministries, and The Still speaking Ministry.
