Trip to the Cathedral

If you are interested in coming to the Confirmation liturgy at the Cathedral of St. Philip Sunday afternoon and want to carpool, meet at St. Nicholas at 1:15pm so that we can arrive at 3:00pm. The service starts at 4:00pm. We have 7 people being confirmed, received, or reaffirmed. Hope to see you there!

What Is God Calling You To Do?

A last minute reminder that Episcopal 101 is tonight (Wednesday, December 9) with Eucharist at 6:30 and class at 7:15. We will be discussing “What is God Calling You To Do?” and will be focusing on our gifts, discernment, and the needs of our church and community. I’ll also be spending some time talking about how our ministry is organized at St. Nicholas and will highlight the various things God has currently called us to. If you are looking for a way to “plug in,” you don’t want to miss tonight’s class.

A Very Merry St. Nicholas Day!

Forget Christmas! The busiest couple of days of the year at St. Nicholas are the days around St. Nicholas Day (December 6). St. Nicholas Day, of course, is our patronal feast day, and this year we celebrated in style! Read more

The Hiking Preacher Part 9

Wolfden Loop Part 1

Rocky Point to Mile 20 & back: approx. 4 miles, 2 hours
Rocky Point to East End Loop & back: approx. 4 miles,  2 hours 15 minutes

This is the ninth in a series of posts about my weekly hikes on the Pine Mountain Trail.

Today I’m posting about two separate hikes. Last week, I just plain ol’ ran out of time and couldn’t get my act together to write about the first chunk of the Wolfden Loop. Wolfden is the longest loop on the trail, at 6.7 miles. I haven’t hiked the whole loop at one time, but I’d like to do so someday. Instead, I have broken the loop into 3 hikes which are all very manageable if you don’t have a lot of time. You can hop onto these trails really easily from the Rocky Point Parking Lot, whereas next week’s section will require going all the way over to the WJSP Tower and starting there.
