Thomas Church family,

On this Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded of the power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of yielding ourselves as a faith community to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost reminds us that when God’s Spirit moves, lives are radically transformed, the Church is strengthened, and ordinary people are empowered to do extraordinary ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.

As we celebrate Men’s and Women’s Day today, I also stand before you with deep gratitude and humility as I celebrate 14 years of ministry with you here at Thomas Church.

For 14 years, we have prayed together, worshipped together, cried together, and rejoiced together. You have helped Sabrina, and I raise Justice in this church, and for that, we are so ever grateful. We have walked through seasons of challenge and seasons of joy, but through it all, we have learned to continue to trust in God and remain faithful.

The same Spirit that descended upon the early church continues to guide and sustain our congregation today. And for that, I give God praise. I thank God for everyone who has faithfully served this church with love, sacrifice, compassion, and dedication to the mission of Jesus Christ.

I also want to share with you that I recently received a call from our District Superintendent, Rev. Karli Pidgeon, who informed me that Bishop Williamston and the Cabinet have reappointed me to serve Hartzell Mt. Zion Church in Slidell. I am honored and humbled by the continued trust placed in me to serve God’s people and lead in ministry.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of serving as your pastor. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to the vision and mission of Thomas Church to share the love of Jesus by engaging, connecting, and growing spiritual leaders to realize the fullness of God’s Kingdom.

But church, let me be clear, I believe wholeheartedly, our best days are still ahead of us. As we continue to yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit, God will continue to open doors, transform lives, and strengthen this ministry for generations to come.

So today, we celebrate not just 14 years of ministry together — we celebrate the faithfulness of God. To God be the glory for all He has done.

Effective, July 1st, Rev. Fredrick H. Sweetwyne will become the Pastor of Thomas Church. Please be in prayer for him and his wife, Ollie as they transition to serving the South Kenner community.

Blessings,

Pastor Kaseem

Our hearts are deeply saddened by the senseless loss of innocent children and those wounded in the tragic act of violence in Shreveport, Louisiana, today.

Moments like this shake us to our core. We often witness these tragedies across our country and quietly hope, “It won’t happen here.” Yet today, it has touched our own community.

Scripture reminds us:

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4

We lift up the families who are experiencing unimaginable pain. We pray for healing for those who were injured. We pray for peace in a moment filled with confusion, anger, and sorrow.

As the body of Christ, we are called not only to mourn—but to respond with love, compassion, and unity.

Let this be a moment where our community leans into God and into one another. Check on your neighbors. Hold your children a little closer. Speak life. Show kindness. Don’t let what happened today be just another news story that is forgotten. Church, we must be the light in moments of deep darkness.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5

A Meal from Our Heart. Food for the Soul.

As food costs continue to rise in Jefferson Parish and across the country, many families are feeling the strain. But at Thomas Church, our response remains the same—love in action.

For over 25 years, our Bread of Life Ministry has provided nutritious meals every 3rd Saturday, meeting both physical and spiritual needs in our community.

This past Saturday, we served over 75 community members—a powerful reminder that when we show up with love, lives are touched and hope is restored.

Because this is more than food…
💛 It’s care.
💛 It’s connection.
💛 It’s Christ-centered compassion.

It’s how we live out our mission:
Sharing the love of Jesus
Engaging hearts
Connecting people
Growing spiritual leaders
Building God’s Kingdom

In a time when costs are rising, our calling is rising too.

Have you ever felt like you are walking a long road… thinking God was nowhere to be found?

In Luke 24:13–35, two disciples were leaving Jerusalem—heavy, discouraged, and confused. Jesus had died. Their hopes felt buried. Their future felt uncertain. And yet… Jesus was walking with them the whole time. They just didn’t recognize Him.

He listened to their pain.
He spoke truth into their confusion.
He revealed Himself and suddenly everything changed.

And maybe that’s your story today. You may feel like you’re walking through disappointment and uncertainty however Jesus is closer than you think. You may not recognize Him in the moment…
But He is speaking, guiding, and preparing a revelation.

God’s goodness will meet you on your road.
God’s presence will surprise you in your pain.
God’s revelation will turn your sorrow into fire again.

Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep believing.
Because at the right moment… your eyes will open. And you’ll realize—He never left you.
