Events and ways to get connected

On  Saturday, September 6th, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church is hosting a retreat on the spiritual life. St. Benedict of Nursia, who died in the 6th century, was a major figure in Christian monasticism, connecting the Eastern and Western practices of Christian spirituality. As Anglicans, we follow the Benedictine rule of Mass, Office, and Prayer. If you want to know what it means to be a spiritual person in today’s day and age, consider joining us for a day of prayer, spirituality, and fellowship.

On Sunday mornings starting at 9:45 am, Fr. Ian teaches a class that walks through a book of the Bible or various doctrines of the Church. He is currently teaching through the book of Genesis. Join us to learn more about how our Lord has communicated to us through his Holy Scripture! We are taking a break through the month of August 2025.

On the last Sunday of each month, the people of the parish will bring a dish for everyone to share after Mass. Join us on our Potluck Sundays to share in a meal that symbolizes and enlivens our fellowship!

At 5:00 pm on the first Sunday of every month, members from St. Thomas will gather at Bigg Daddy’s Tavern in Cornelia, GA, to discuss a book over a meal and drinks. Anyone is welcome to attend, even if you haven’t read the book! We would love to have you.
