Episcopal Church 101

Episcopal Church Logo Shield

We never stop learning. There’s always some thing new to discover or perhaps ‘rediscover’ and appreciate in new lights and colors.

Fourteen of us gathered last Sunday for the beginning of Episcopal Church 101, led by Deacon Tom Smith.

We will continue this program this Sunday, December 4 after the 10am Liturgy. We’ll gather in the Noah’s Ark Room. Bring your coffee, snacks and an open mind and heart as we delve deeper into a better and more enlightened understanding of our Church and our role in this community of faith.

All are welcome, regardless of whether you were able to attend the first session!

New Socks For New Friends

Carmen's Lovely and Amazing embroidered socks

As the weather gets colder, our efforts to keep warm and dry increases. We go to our dresser and get a clean pair of socks, slip them on and we’re set. However, the sad news is so many of our sisters and brothers are not so fortunate. The community of St. Nicholas, in cooperation with the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago, will collect new socks throughout the winter season. Donations can be placed in the basket that will be on display. The collected socks will be distributed to the needy to help make their winter a bit warmer, dryer and safer. Your generosity and assistance are deeply appreciated.
