St. Nicholas is a community of local people, of all ages and with some very differing backgrounds. It is part of a great family that stretches all over the world and across the ages. This family has in its DNA a fundamental desire to follow and model itself, in its own time, on the life of Jesus Christ - the one who shows us what God is like.
We make this journey to grow in Jesus way and truth and life by listening to the wisdom of the Christian family, by searching the words of the Bible for God’s living Word, and by reflecting deeply with our minds and hearts on the experience of living together in God’s creation. We pray and we think and we act.
At the heart of our lives is the memory of the meal that Jesus shared with his friends on the night before he died - the Last Supper. We celebrate this memory in different ways - music and imagination play a large part in our ways of worship - but always with thankfulness. Our main act of worship is called “The Eucharist”, a word that means “Thanksgiving”
In the Eucharist the broken bread and shared cup of wine show the presence of Jesus, whose body was broken on the cross, but not his power to love. So this food we share becomes for us the promise that love and life are stronger than brokenness and death.
St. Nicholas is not a place where we deny the difficult questions and experiences; it is a community where we face them together with honesty and hope. Whoever you are, if this sounds like it could be for you, you would be very welcome.
