Join us on Sundays 9-9:45am in the St. Thomas Church Lounge OR online via the ZOOM link below as we continue our Conversations on Scripture.


This Sunday School season we will be focusing on the Old Testament readings for each Sunday and consider how God meets us in the messiness of human life.

How do we find ourselves in God's story?

How do we understand ourselves as living in covenant with God?

When have we felt in exile?

How do we see God fulfilling the promises of God through history and in our lives today?

What does this mean for how we live our lives?


We will continue to use art images along with readings from the book Getting Involved with God: Rediscovering the Old Testament by Ellen F. Davis each week. If you are unable to obtain a copy of this book, let Jill Beverlin know. Her contact info is below.

April 2024 Update -

Rector Search Committee


Early this year the Rector Search Team reconvened to discern and update our profile for 2024. We updated format, language, and pictures based on feedback we received from the Transition Ministry Officers. It takes a village! Our new profile has now been approved and is on the diocesan and St. Thomas websites as well as Facebook, Episcopal News Service, and Living Church. The team is looking forward to receiving candidates and is ready to review and interview!


The Rector Search Team would like to thank you once again for your patience and prayers throughout the rector search process. We are so blessed to have each other and the ministry team at St. Thomas to guide us through this transition. During Lent we were reminded of the gifts of God and all that we have to be thankful for, we continue to have faith that God will provide for us on his timeline. 



Respectfully in Christ, your Rector Search Team: Anne Peterson, Brad Lauderdale, Claire Kopcznski, Dave Morton, Genevieve Pell, Gordon Stillings, Jen Stielow, & Rachel Levine

The Trialogue Steering Committee will hold a series of town hall meetings, in person and on Zoom, to discuss the proposal for reunion among the Dioceses of Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, and Milwaukee, and hear the hopes and concerns of the people of our dioceses.


Trialogue Prayer

Lord, It is Your Voice that calls each of us

To play our part in the story of Your Church in Wisconsin,

For You have made us for Your purpose of revealing love

In a challenging time and in a divided world.

As our three dioceses discern becoming one,

Continuing to seek your will for us,

Enlighten our hearts to know what things we ought to do.

Enlighten our minds to know what things we need to leave behind.

Enlighten our spirits to embrace a future none but You know.

Give us peace, give us courage, give us hope.

And give us perseverance to make the steps necessary to

Continue to follow Your lead. Amen.
