Rite of Healing
Regularly, on the second Sunday of the month for those who wish it, there is an opportunity to pray specifically for healing. Since Biblical times, this prayer has been accompanied by the anointing with oil. At 8:30, please bring a book with you to the Communion Rail to indicate that you would like to be anointed. At 10:30, please proceed to the chapel after you have received communion.

Traffic at the Altar Rail
When you come forward to receive Communion at 10:30 a.m., please fill in the next available place at the Altar Rail, kneeling or standing immediately to the left of the person who has gone before you.

The Annual Blessing of Animals
Sunday, October 5 at 3:00pm on the front lawn of the church. If you’d like to help out, please speak with Fr. Kevin, or a member of the Worship Committee, sometime over the summer.

Episcopal Visit to St. Nick's
Sunday, November 23: The Reign of Christ - visit by our Area Bishop, Patrick Yu. See the bishop's webpage here »

Opportunities to assist with Worship at St. Nick's

Do you enjoy singing? 

Have you ever considered joining our Choir? All sections are currently in need of new members. We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:30 - 9:30 pm and we would love to welcome you!  Being able to read music is not necessary, but having the ability to sing in tune is a good idea! For more information, please speak to Joan. 

Can't carry a tune in a basket?

...then consider joining the team of Sidespeople. If you're looking for a way to contribute to our worship, but are not sure what's right for you, what about becoming a Sidesperson? You'd be part of a dedicated team of people who greet people with an order of service and a smile as they come into the church. We also collect and count the offering, oversee the movement of people on the way to Communion, and we’re there to catch you if you trip on the steps! Be part of this important ministry in the life of our parish. Speak to Sonia Halloran or any Sidesperson on duty on any Sunday… We also flip pancakes!

Bringing forth the Elements (the bread and wine for Communion)

As you may know, every Sunday two people are invited to take the elements up to the altar at the Offertory. If this is something you feel you would like to do, perhaps, but not necessarily, to mark a special day or anniversary, please speak to one of the Sidespeople on duty on any Sunday. They will take note of your name and the date on which you would like to take on this important role.
