Epiphany Sermon Series

Who Is This Jesus? Authority, Allegiance, and the Shape of Discipleship

January 11 – February 15, 2026

Epiphany is the season of revelation. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus is not gradually discovered—He is declared, confronted, and obeyed. This season presses one central question: Who is Jesus, and what does it mean to follow Him? Through scenes of baptism, mission, teaching, witness, and glory, Matthew reveals a Messiah whose authority cannot be admired from a distance. Epiphany calls us not merely to see Jesus clearly, but to order our lives around Him.

Epiphany reveals who Jesus is—so disciples can follow Him with clarity and courage.  See the entire series here.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, February 17, 2026

The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper is Tuesday, February 17 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. We will be serving our not-so-secret recipe buttermilk pancakes with sausage and/or bacon, and dessert. We need volunteers—usually the men of the church—to make the pancakes and reheat the sausage and bacon. The St. Thomas Youth will be our waiters and waitresses! You do not need to help for the whole two hours! Please sign up to donate desserts and/or to help with the supper. Free-will donations will be accepted to help the St. Thomas Young Disciples Youth Group attend the ADP Youth weekend March 13-15 at Seneca Hills Bible Camp. Please give generously to help make this happen! 

Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026

There will be one Ash Wednesday Worship Service at 7:00 pm on February 18 with Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes.  

Devotionals: Lenten, Weekly, Quarterly

All devotionals are available in the information rack at the back of the church, next to the mailboxes. We offer both weekly and quarterly devotionals, which are updated regularly. Lenten devotionals from Trinity Anglican Seminary are also available. These provide a daily reading based on a single Scripture passage, beginning on Ash Wednesday. Supplies are limited, so please be sure to take one home today. 

Invitation to Join the St. Thomas Snow Removal Team

It’s that time again, and we will need help with sidewalk snow removal. There is a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the parish hall. As a part of the St. Thomas Snow Removal Team, if it snows and accumulates more than an inch during your week, come to church as soon as you're able and shovel/salt the sidewalks and front steps. Thank you to everyone who has served and will serve our church family in this way. Your years of faithful service are much appreciated! Please see John Colaianne if you have questions.
