Good News! The Walsall Wesley Owen store at St Paul's in the Crossing in the centre of Walsall has been bought by the staff who run the shop and will reopen shortly as The Hub! This wonderful news sees the continuation of a vitally important outlet of Christian books, music and other resources for local Christians.

We are encouraging members of St Thomas' to really get behind this new venture and make it really fly and grow as a business so that we can ensure easy access for the many thousands of local Christians of great quality Christians resources for life and ministry, and vital opportunity of outreach to the many non-Christians who pop into the shop to seek guidance and support.

Please pray for the staff as they take over the ownership and running of The Hub, and please choose positively to support it by visiting and shopping there. We will hope to restock the church bookstore with products from The Hub when they have this system up and running. If and when that service is available you will be able to support The Hub by buying products at St Thomas' own bookstore.

One of the things I noticed about St Thomas’ when I first arrived was that we didn’t have  a logo! There was no clear graphical identity which holds together all the amazing variety of activities which happen here and in the community around here.

St Thomas’ is a church deserving of a great logo which can breed a clear sense of identity throughout all our ministries and instill confidence in the community in connecting with any of the things we are doing as a church.

The need for a good logo is increased as our wider ministry grows. With our sermons now appearing on iTunes and the church website growing clearly we need to create a clear graphical identity which communicates very simply something of who we are in a consistent fashion. A new logo was one of the first things I wanted to achieve, and with the help of Jonathan Whitehouse-Bird our resident professional graphic designer I'm hoping you might like what we've come up with! Read on to find out what it's all about.

In an attempt to streamline the communications within the church we have a members only download area on this website now. In future, minutes, rotas, preaching notes, policy documents and so on will all be available here on this website. You will need to log in to access them though so they will be kept secure. There's not a lot there at the moment, but over time this area of the website will fill up and become a vital resource for us all within the family of St T's.
