Episcopal 101, April 15, 9:45am

Join us for Episcopal 101, Sunday, April 15, at 9:45 am. Scripture is vital to who we are as Episcopalians. The Bible is more than just ancient tales, it’s a rich library that tells the story of God interacting with his beloved Creation. In many ways, we are continuing that story today. But it’s important to read the Bible on our journey with God. In this month’s Episcopal 101, we will continue our exploration of the Bible by looking at the New Testament. Fr. Jeff will talk about the development of our Christian Scriptures and we’ll discuss why these texts are important to us today.
Are you new to St. Nicholas? Are you new to the Episcopal style of faith and worship? Are you a long-time Episcopalian who needs a jumpstart on why we do things the way we do them? Then you need to join our Episcopal 101 class! This monthly class is a perfect place to learn more about our church and what makes us unique as Episcopalians. Each month, we explore different topics that are important to us. If you are thinking about becoming an Episcopalian, this class is very important. If you want more information, please contact Fr. Jeff.

The Importance of Being Welcomed- Patty Grace

“The Episcopal Church welcomes you!” That’s our deal, right? We’re welcoming.
Being a new parishioner, I can attest that St. Nicholas is a welcoming church. We were looking for a new church home, somewhere that we could feel comfortable, learn together and grow as Christians. On our first visit, we hit the jackpot!
During the Peace, we remember one particular woman who came from the other side of the church to introduce herself to us and to shake our hands. After the service, I saw a couple of familiar faces and was embraced and welcomed. And then there was Jeff.
Father Jeff practically did a backbend to reach a coffee mug to present to us. He encouraged us to fill out visitor information, hugged, introduced us around and was a friendly as a puppy! My natural reserve was beginning to fade away as he talked.
In a matter of days, we had a note from Fr. Jeff, asking to join him for coffee. We met and spent a wonderful hour or so exchanging life stories and spiritual views. Jeff followed up with emails and calls to be sure that we were settling in.
After our second or third visit, we had our own name badges and began to get familiar with our fellow parishioners. We’ve found our home at St. Nick’s, and what’s more is we’ve found new friends, new knowledge, been challenged in our thinking and have opened ourselves to outside ministry through FOCUS.
