Little Lambs
We are sorry to inform you that Little Lambs will not be running for the remainder of 2020. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, we are not able to safely operate while abiding by the rules.
We will be reviewing this ministry to our community in 2021 and will let you know here if we are able and can resource starting it again.
Joining one of our courses.
Over the past two 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. We are currently running Alpha on Zoom
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
With Phase 4 restrictions currently in place, we are meeting again without having to register prior to services! Social distancing rules and regular hygiene practices still apply, and everyone attending must sign in before being seated. Those from the same family do not have to social distance during the service.
We have a traditional 8 am communion and a service with children that is more informal at 10 am. Sermons are made available online.
Wednesday Communion Service
As with Sunday services, social distancing, regular hygiene and registering as you arrive is mandatory. It's been lovely to worship together again.
Sunday evening Worship and Prayer Meetings
Sunday evening Worship and Prayer Meetings are held here at St Nic's starting at 6pm. All are welcome.
