Episcopal 101 Class, Sunday, January 22 at 9:45 am

On January 22, at 9:45 am, the Christian formation class will be Episcopal 101, Introduction to St. Nicholas, led by Father Jeff. We hope to have everybody there, from the founding members of St. Nicholas to our most recent newcomers!

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. This month, we’ll be talking about how St. Nicholas got started. If you are thinking about becoming an Episcopalian, this class is very important. If you want more information, please contact Father Jeff.

Adult Formation, November 13 & 27, 9:45am

Adult Formation Class, November 13 and 27th, 9:45 am: Bob Hamilton will discuss the book “I’m Fine with God…It’s the Christians I Can’t Stand” by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz. We are all affected by the difference of everything from the Mennonites to the extreme fundamentalist Christians. Recently, Mormonism has been blasted as a cult. If someone asks you if you are a Christian, what do you say? If you ask someone to come to church that you know, what would you say if you are asked if it’s a Christian church? Is the word Christian becoming a negative term? Join this class as we continue our spiritual journey by answering these questions.

Out & About - Exploration in Antiquities

As you know, the “Out and About” Event on Saturday, April 9 is fast approaching. Anne Simpson will need to know by this Sunday how many people are planning on going. The cost is $30 for adults and $17 for children 12 and under. The Museum opens at 10:00am.

There are some stony areas so wear good foot wear. If it is raining, it is covered outside so you won’t get wet. Our Biblical Meal is at 4:00pm and our Garden Walk is at 5:30pm after the meal. We would get there about 2:00pm as a group, but you can go sooner if you would like.  Just tell them that you are with the St. Nicholas Group and pay as you go in. The price will be the same regardless what time you get there. Also, once Anne submits the names of people attending, if you do not go there will be a $10 no-show fee because of the price of the meal. If you have any other questions call Anne at 706-594-4547 or e-mail her at anneparmersimpson@yahoo.com.
