Last year 2020 we ran two Alpha courses beginning online via Zoom finishing together at church, in person, and it was interesting reflecting on the two social dynamics. Check out the blog on it. We are currently running an Alpha for men ending on October 2021. To register your interest in joining a future Alpha course please click here.
Joining one of our courses.
Over the past two and a half years, we have written or adapted a number of courses that help us move towards living life in all its fullness. At St Nics we are looking to grow as disciples of Jesus. These courses are based on biblical teaching and apart from Alpha assume that we have begun our discipleship journey with Jesus. Have a look at our testimony page to see some comments on these. Quite a number of people in our current church community have participated in some or all of our courses. However, we are now in a position where we will rerun a course if we have sufficient new participants. If you are new to St Nics Alpha is a great start. You might then take the 1:1 6 weeks 'Discipleship course' with an approved mentor. After that, you could join in 'Being Together' which is about community Life. 'Living Free' is in my view the most significant course we have to date and my hope is that most people who call St Nics their spiritual home would complete this course.
If you are interested in one of our courses please contact us via email on stnicholasminster@gmail.com. We'll let you know when we have sufficient participants and see if we can make it happen!
Sunday Services
Since Covid lockdown and restrictions on being together, we have decided to meet for a single gathering each Sunday at 9 am. The shape of the service is largely traditional with children's ministry from 3-11 years old each week following a shared communion. We will be able to offer prayer ministry after the services, as well as hospitality before and afterwards. We want to be together for this next season and as we grow multiply into two gatherings when the time is right. Sermons are made available online.
We continue to require both QR registration if you have it and a simple sign-in process. Social distancing rules and regular hygiene practices still apply. Currently, we can offer 100 % capacity. We look forward to seeing you.
Wednesday Communion Service
9 am Wednesday
As with Sunday services, social distancing, regular hygiene and registering as you arrive is mandatory. This service is a simple communion together with shortened teaching and hospitality afterwards.
Sunday evening Worship and Prayer Meetings
Sunday evening Worship and Prayer Meetings are held here at St Nic's starting at 5 pm.
All are welcome.
