The St. Thomas Shepherds for Christ
Purpose:
To assist in the incorporation and nurturing of new and re-affirming members into the life of the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas congregation.

A  Shepherd cares for the family of God with special emphasis on Senior members and those who are shut-in. If missing for three weeks from mass, a call is made to inquire about the state of the parishioner's welfare. Shepherds meet and greet visitors in a fellowship setting, and follow-up by phone to encourage their interest in being a part of the church family.

A general training meeting for shepherds is scheduled twice a year, at 2 p.m and 7 p.m. on the same day to accommodate both working and retired members.

Who may join? Anyone who has been a member of St. Thomas for at least one year, and interested in helping others become active members of the congregation.
