Dear Friends,
I want to invite you to a special day of worship on August 28th at 9:30am. It's been a summer of new ministries (yay JOY Camp and Praying in Color!) as well as vacations, family visits and fun. Now it is time for us to come back together to celebrate our life together as a church family and the return of our children and youth to school.
On the 28th during worship we will offer prayers for teachers, students, and parents for this new school year. All are invited to bring backpacks and workbags forward for a blessing. We will seek God's blessing upon them and pray for safety, wisdom, friendship and grace in this new school year. We will also give thanks for one year in our new space and our beautiful life together!
After worship we will have hot dogs, games, yard games, and activities for kids of all ages, photo opps, and goodies from our favorite baker - Alyssa at Cake LLama! I hope you will come and join in helping and participating in activities, food, and fun. This is a wonderful event for you to invite your friends, neighbors, and family. You can pick up a postcard to share with others this coming Sunday.
This is the first of many homecomings together! An annual event where we celebrate the goodness of God's work in our lives and in the lives of the world around us. I can't wait to offer those prayers of love and goodness for us, and for the sake of the world.
And I can't wait to see you and worship with you all, my dear St. Nick's family.
God's Peace, Love, and Blessings,
Beth+

Small Groups at St. Nick's |
|
Are you excited about connecting with one another and our community? Do you have a heart for book or bible studies? Love dinner groups? Want a small group of people to work with on wellness or hiking? Want to work with a small group of people volunteering at a local food bank or organization?
Consider becoming a small group champion for this new year of life at St. Nicholas. Wondering where to begin or how to start? It's as simple as contacting Rev. Beth at 214-213-0739. Share your idea or ideas with her. Next steps are communicating your small group, connecting with people in order to remind them of time and place, and trusting that God is with us, growing us in friendship and faith. Small groups are a great way to connect with one another, connect with God, and learn something about the world around us.

Johnson Ranch Elementary School Drive |
|
Thank you to everyone who helped with the Johnson Ranch Elementary School Drive. We were able to help the Johnson Ranch neighborhood collect much needed items for the teachers, staff and nurses!
Let us join together to pray for our schools -
God of wonder, creation, and imagination,
we thank you today for all who work in preschools, schools, colleges, homeschool, co-ops, and places of learning. We ask your presence, your peace, your comfort, and your strength to be with those who help with schools and their maintenance and mission. We ask you to be with all who maintain and care for the buildings and grounds, for all who serve and prepare meals, the office workers and the librarians, the teachers, nurses, and administrators. Their work helps our children to know you and your world. May they be guided to share of themselves and may we be emboldened to help them. Help us all to be work together to uphold and encourage our local schools in their work. May we all work together for the betterment of children, youth and the world around us. All this we offer to Your glory with confidence and faith. Amen.
