Bible 101 at St. Nicholas
Want to learn more about the Bible but don’t know where to start? Looking for a way to study scripture that is thoughtful and applicable? On Monday, May 7 at 10:00am, we will have an organizational meeting to talk about a new Bible Study at St. Nicholas. The class will probably start weekly in June. All are welcome–those who are well-versed in the Bible and those who have never opened it before! For more information, contact Fr. Jeff at fatherjeff@stnicholashamilton.org.

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.
