We will be live-streaming a short Eucharist onto our church Facebook page each Sunday morning. The service will start at 11.00 a.m. A conventional video will also appear on the page after the transmission.

If you have a Facebook account, you can find our church page by searching for St. Thomas's Church, St. Annes-on-Sea. Then take a look at recent posts to see information on how to access the live stream. If you are not sure how to do this, or would like some help in setting up a Facebook account, please contact (01253) 711794 Show email address for assistance.

The services are also available via this link:

As you will be aware St. Thomas' main source of income is the giving of the congregation. Since the church building closed those who give by directly putting money on the plate have largely been unable to do so.

If you would like to support St. Thomas' either by setting up a monthly standing order or by simply transferring the amount you wish to give electronically, please feel free to contact the vicar and you will be sent the necessary details.

It is possible to give in this way and claim Gift Aid on it.

Please ask for details if you wish to do so.

Our Licensed Lay Minister Elizabeth O'Connor has been supplying short meditations each week, available on our Downloads page.

There is now a prayer trail around the churchyard. This is described in the May edition of No Doubt, available for download from our Magazine page. The prayer cards will be changed on a regular basis.

Christian Aid Week this year, in spite of circumstances, was very successful. CAW itself raised approximately £3.1 million and the total including the Coronavirus Emergency appeal was about £4 million. So, in spite of all the bad news around us, we have something to say a big Thank You for in our prayers. There may be a(nother) Christian Aid Week of some kind later in autumn but it would not involve house-to-house collections. I'll keep you posted if and when I have any further news.
