"Welcome to St Thomas's website! Wherever you are in the world, we're glad you dropped by. Here in the heart of Salisbury we seek God in a broad and welcoming Anglican environment. Encountering God in a beautiful, but unselfconscious, worship, we pray that the encounter will propel us out to serve all God's people here."

Thought for the Month from Rev'd David Linaker, Rector
Prayer for May
At Ascension we mark the point where Jesus became physically absent from the life of the Church and at Pentecost we mark the gift of the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. This is the Spirit that gave the great 'Yes' to Creation; the Spirit that inspired Mary's 'Yes' to God; the Spirit that says God's 'Yes' to us at every moment of turning towards Him. Can we learn to shape our lives by the 'Yes' of creative risk, rather than the 'No' of paralysing fear?"
God whose 'Yes' breathed life into each of us at the moment of our conception,
and inspired in us the 'Yes' of our baptism;
give us grace to abandon fear,
to eschew false safety,
and to follow your example of risky, costly, abundant love.
We make our prayer through Him whose 'Yes' is the Cross that points the way to the Great 'Yes' of Resurrection,
Our Parish Centre is at St Thomas's House next to the church. We have a lovely room, well equipped kitchen and garden which are available for hire for business meetings, training, lectures, receptions & private gatherings.
