Seasonal Scripture Studies

St. Tom’s is committed to the serious study of scripture because we know that “ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ.” That is why every year during Advent and Lent, Saint Tom’s offers a seasonal scripture study with a trained instructor to help you deepen your knowledge of Christ through his word.
