Childrens Ministry

Family Service
On the first Sunday of each month, the children will be involved in all aspects of the 9.00 am Family Service.

They will help with giving out the books and collecting the offertory, taking up the bread and wine, reading, and with the intercessory prayers. A roster has been drawn up to cover these areas, and in some cases the children will be with an adult and in others they will do the task on their own. It is up to all of us to encourage and support the children in taking an active role in our service.

Sunday School
Sunday School takes place in conjunction with Sunday Services. Times and more information are available through the Parish Office.

Religious Education
As part of the greater christian community, St Thomas’ is committed to providing students at Brassall State Primary, North Ipswich State Primary and Tivoli State Primary Schools with religious education.
