offered to everyone...you, a loved one, a friend. And you
don't need to be a member of St. Thomas or Episcopalian. More...

Don't Miss Virtual Vacation Bible School!
Vacation Bible School is a time to grow in Jesus’ love. Each Sunday at 3 pm, a new 20-30 minute episode will premiere on YouTube to watch as a family or with your church family. Featuring leaders from across our diocesan family we’ll use Treasured from Group Publishing as a springboard to explore Jesus’ love through stories, songs, scripture, and more.
 
The VBS team is excited to continue to unwrap God’s future together and look forward to an exciting summer of learning about Jesus’ love for us. Learn More
The Good News Festival: 
December 3 - 4
On December 3 - 4, 2021, the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego will welcome Presiding Bishop Michael Curry to Southern California for a celebration of good news. With interactive outreach projects, workshops, live discussion panels, youth offerings, and an evening of celebration at the beautiful Town and Country Resort, this is the perfect time to get away and enjoy some good news.

Who's your "One?" Inviting friends, family, and neighbors to the Good News Festival is an important part of making this event a true celebration of good news. Join us in committing to invite your "One," one person you know who needs to hear the good news of Jesus. You can find materials to help invite "your one" to the Good News Festival on the website. The flyers are available for download, but printed materials will also be provided to churches for broad distribution.

Join us in prayer for the Good News Festival. Loving God, Author of life, in You we live and move and have our being. We ask that you revive us again in your mighty Spirit as we prepare our hearts for The Good News Festival. Inspire us to reach out to those who do not know you, and welcome them with open arms, without judgement, so that all may embrace your Good News, answer your call, and dance together with joy. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

The Town and Country Resort, a San Diego icon where mid-century cool and warm hospitality come to mingle, is the venue for the Good News Festival. A beloved landmark since 1953, the resort recently completed a multimillion-dollar transformation, renovating everything from top-to-bottom and adding a host of new amenities. Throughout the Town and Country, every moment brims with sunny possibilities—with modern guestrooms, chef-driven dining, and a sprawling pool complex—the Town and Country Resort is the perfect place to celebrate some good news. Discounted room rates are available when you book through www.thegoodnewsfestival.com!
