Campus & Resources

Working in a rotating roster of small groups on Saturday mornings, team members ensure that our place of worship is clean and inviting for parishioners and visitors. They were named for the amount of money they save the church annually through there cleaning ministry.

Council Members serve the people of the parish by providing leadership, direction and advice to Clergy and Wardens. As well as attending a monthly meeting, they may provide leadership during parish meetings, such as facilitating table discussions at Vestry meetings, or in championing specific projects such as accessibility.

Members of this group help maintain the integrity of our parish buildings and premises as a safe place to worship and for the community to gather for various activities. They assess what maintenance to the building is needed and arrange for it to take place. They also give advice on improvements that could be made to the building.

At St Thomas, stewardship is about much more than money. It’s about how the parish makes the best use of all its resources in order to carry out its ministries. These include its financial resources, its people (clergy and lay), and its property and buildings. We are also conscious of our environmental responsibility, to steward and protect God’s Creation.

Parishioners offer their gifts to the parish in many ways, including financial. Offering envelopes can be used to make monetary contributions. Another option is to use Pre-Authorized Remittances (PAR), which are automatic monthly deductions from participants’ bank accounts, transferred to the church. We also conduct an annual campaign in which parish members are asked to intentionally and prayerfully decide how they will financially support the parish in the next year.
