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

With this in mind, we welcome Deacon Tom Smith who will be sharing his knowledge with us about this entity we call the Episcopal Church. We shall begin this program starting this week, the first Sunday of Advent, November 27th 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!

The contemporary Eucharist service is held Saturday evenings at 4:30pm. Come and explore your spirituality, and be welcomed to the community of St Nicholas.

Scripture readings for the upcoming 1st Sunday of Advent, 26/27 November:

B Cycle Isaiah 64: 1-9; Psalm 80: 1-7, 16-18; 1 Cor. 1: 3-9; Mark 13: 24-37

The Episcopal Church uses the Revised Common Lectionary. When a choice is given for the Old Testament lesson and Psalm, at St. Nicholas we use the first option, or Track 1. More about the Revised Common Lectionary is at this link.
