Parish Launches Quarterly Publication 
St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal Church, at 6525 Inwood Road in Dallas, Texas has always been known as a place welcome everyone, and where thinking, tolerant Christians could develop a more engaged life with God, their families, friends and the broader community within the Episcopal Tradition.

Today, St. Thomas announced the first edition of a quarterly publication about that very place: 6525 Inwood Road. As matter of fact, that's what the publication is called.

Click on the image of the cover to enlarge it, then click on 6525 Publication (below, or in the links panel to the right) to find out more about St. Thomas, to read some excerpts from Issue One, and -- if you like what you see -- to download the PDF verison for yourself. We truly hope you enjoy it.

WORKING TOGETHER TO PREPARE FOR THE PRESIDING BISHOP’S VISIT 
Katharine Jefferts Schori, our Presiding Bishop, will be visiting with us at Saint Thomas The Apostle in just over six weeks! Her day with us will begin with a private, invitation-only meeting with the clergy of the Diocese of Dallas in the morning. In the afternoon, we are all invited to join her for a blessing of our Community Garden, with a reception and Q&A session to follow in our Parish Hall.
