These cards carry with them a wonderful blessing to the recipients and help them feel connected to the church in a very meaningful way. Thank you Sunday School members and artists!
Our May Parish Breakfast on Saturday, May 5th at 9 a.m. will be a special “Parish Town Hall” event. Following Bishop Kevin’s example at the York-Scarborough Town Hall meeting, we will be exploring our current ministry and hopes for the future. In preparation for our Parish Town Hall, members of St. Nicholas are being invited to participate in an early Rogation walk by choosing an area within the Parish Boundaries and walking around the area to offer prayers and build awareness – who do you see? What is changing? Who is in need and in what way? If you would like to participate, please take a section of the Rogation Walk Map, add your name to the sign up sheet (so we know who is walking where) and enjoy!
