Faith and Fellowship
Here’s what’s happening this week at St Nicholas:
Sunday Worship Service
FROM 10:00AM
Our week starts with our Sunday worship service.
This is our principle service of the week where we engage in three scripture Bible based teaching followed by our weekly celebration of the Eucharist, which is also known as ‘Holy Communion’ or ‘The Lord’s Supper’. It is a liturgically-shaped, creative service informed by modern-sung worship. Children are always, always welcome.
If you’re unable to join us in person, you are warmly welcome to ‘Join Us Live Online’ or ‘Catch Up on Youtube’.
Sunday Fellowship
from 11:30am
Fellowship is an important part of our Christian life together. It follows the Sunday Worship Service and is a time for us to ‘gather and get to know’ each other over a hot drink and the occasional slice of cake. If you are new or newish to St Nicholas you will soon discover that we are never short of food or warm welcome.
Online Prayer & Bible Study
MONDAY 12:00PM-1:00PM
TUESDAY 9:00AM-9:30AM
WEDNESDAY 8:30PM-9:00PM
We gather online to pray, read and discuss the Bible drawing on the Church of England’s [Common Worship Lectionary].
On Mondays at midday, we meet to discuss the readings from the previous Sunday service in-depth and to pray together for the week ahead.
On Tuesdays at 9am, and on Wednesdays at 8.30pm we meet to pray together and explore some of the supplementary lectionary readings that help us make wider connections to the overarching story of the Bible. In these sessions we share in a Morning Prayer and either Evening or Night Prayer.
My Brother’s Keeper
Tuesdays, 7:00pm-9:00pm
In October, we are launching My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) as a space for men of 18+ who would appreciate a safe space in which issues of male health and wellbeing (physical, mental and spiritual) - can be explored alongside issues of faith, culture, community and connection.
Although there will be a wide range of life experiences within the group the sessions and language have been tailored to focus on people who are comfortable with being described or generalised as ‘men' or 'male’
Gentle Thursday Exercise with Bible Study
11:00AM-11:45AM, GENTLE EXERCISE
12:00PM-1:00PM, BIBLE STUDY
Our gentle exercise group particularly target elders in our community, seeking to ensure that they stay active in mind, body and soul. This session begins with a 45 minute class of gentle exercise, followed by 60-90 minutes of shared reading and discussion on a chapter in the Bible.
Currently we are mining the depths of the Old Testament, beginning with Genesis, in a bid to unearth all the tricky and most troublesome bits of the Bible. There is tea on tap, and alternative perspectives and wild questions are especially welcome. So come along and join us to stretch your body and blow the cobwebs from your mind!
