Book Club Gathering Tonight at 6:30pm in Holy Innocents Hall

Ready, set, start reading and sharing

The book group has completed its study of Bible and Sword, and is now reading An Unquiet Mind, by Kay Redfield Jamison. The author, a highly respected professor of psychology and psychiatry (tenured first at UCLA and later Johns Hopkins), describes her experiences coming to grips with her own bipolar disorder (also known as manic-depressive disorder), which had plagued her since early adulthood. This is a striking and highly readable work, by someone uniquely qualified to discuss mental illness as it really happens from both the clinical and the personal point of view. One focus of our discussion will be how such a disorder complicates the concept of “what kind of person” someone really is.

The group will meet at St. Nicholas this Friday, September 27th at 6:30pm in Holy Innocents Hall. All are welcome. Please contact me for more information.

Children’s Formation and Adult Bible Study resume October 6

As schools all across our country head back into session, so too do we at St. Nicholas return to our “studies.”

Starting Sunday, October 6th, Children’s Formation will kick off another exciting season. Our young people are warmly invited to come and share faith and stories after the 10am Liturgy. These classes will be held each first (1st) and third (3rd) Sunday. Classes will be held in the Vesting Room, next to the parish office.

Also, all are encouraged to come and participate in our Adult Bible Study Program. These sessions will coincide with our Children’s Formation — we will meet each first (1st) and third (3rd) Sunday in the Noah’s Ark Space, again, beginning October 6 after the 10am Liturgy. We begin this season with a 6-part DVD and discussion series on Islam and Christianity. In preparation, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Qur’an.
