Walking Together – St. Nick’s News March 21, 2025

Full St. Nick’s News for March 21, 2025

Dear Friends,

“The only way to make a friend,” writes Barbara Brown Taylor, “is to be one.”

In this season of new beginnings, we’re leaning into the spiritual habit of holy friendship—showing up for each other, walking side by side, and trying new things together. Life with God isn’t meant to be a solo act. It’s shared. Practiced. Embodied in community. And sometimes, it looks like walking in circles around a church building with a few good people and a little bit of prayer.

So, we’re starting a new thing: Adult Walking Ministry, Wednesdays from 12:30–1:30pm, beginning March 26. We’ll gather for a short devotional and then take a walk around the grounds. It’s not about getting it “right” or going fast—it’s about presence, connection, and becoming more human together in the light of Christ. Bring a friend or come make one.

Youth Sunday – March 30

This month brings a 5th Sunday Funday led by our youth, with worship at 9:30am and a Meet and Make Art Session right after. We’ll be crafting for the Art & Bloom Auction, but also practicing another kind of creativity: making space, making beauty, and making room for the Spirit. It’s a reminder that ministry doesn’t only happen in pulpits—it happens at paint tables, too.

Easter Help Wanted

Easter is coming, and like any resurrection story, it takes a village. If you want to help bring joy to life, here’s how:

• Easter Eggs – Plastic eggs (pre-filled or not).
• Candy – Individually wrapped, non-chocolate.
• Pinata Stuffers – Small toys for our young ones.
• Cascarones – Confetti eggs (yes, outside only—Rev. Beth said so).
• Brunch Foods – Share a favorite dish after the 9:30am Easter service.
• Volunteers – Come Saturday before Easter at 10am to decorate and prep.

Church isn’t just a place we go—it’s a people we become. Try something new this spring. Walk. Worship. Paint. Laugh. Invite someone in. Holy friendship is waiting to be practiced, and the Spirit moves best when we move together.

God’s Peace, Love, and Blessings,
Beth+
