FAITHFUL SERVICE AT ST. NICHOLAS

SOCIAL & SPIRITUAL SERVICE

ST. NICK'S FOOD SHELF/
FOOD SHARE MINISTRY

Saturdays, 1-2:30 pm

Join us on Saturday afternoons in the lobby to take part in our Food Shelf/Food Share program. The severe impacts of the pandemic showed a clear need for a pooling of resources in order to sustain the livelihood of our families.  What began as as a way to help feed a dozen church families during COVID has evolved into Casa Maria - a sacred space that creates community in the name of Christ.  Through the strong partnerships we have established with local nonprofits and community leaders, this program has grown from a piecemeal endeavor into a fully robust and quickly growing church support system.

​​

This ministry is now a well-known place throughout the Twin Cities where people come to pick up food, clothes and personal care items. We are currently distributing over 500 pounds of food per week, helping feed several hundred people monthly from across the metro area.

​​​

Come early to pick up food from various sources to be distributed during the afternoon.  Stay to set up and organize food and other supplies for distribution.  Remain later to help pack up the leftovers.  Whenever you come, we would love for you to take items home for yourself and your loved ones.

HEALTH CLINICS

Dates and times TBD

Volunteers are needed to organize and staff these events!

​

In partnership with Hennepin Healthcare, St. Nicholas has hosted health clinics.  These clinics serve not just our congregation, but anyone who signs up for them. These clinics are a great way to cut through the bureaucracy and bring much needed medical care and resources to people who need it.

​

We have organized flu vaccination clinics and COVID-19 vaccination and booster clinics. We are deeply grateful for our relationship with Hennepin Healthcare and their commitment to serving our community. 

CRIER NEWSLETTER

A regular newsletter is used to keep members informed about the  latest happenings at St. Nicholas. 


The old monthly Crier is being replaced by e-notes written and emailed by our priest.  These  e-notes provide detailed information about events and activities at St Nicholas.   They also include an e-meditation.  Both can be found  by clicking HERE

​​​​​

The weekly lessons, along with very brief announcements about upcoming events and activities, are emailed to current members and those asking to be on our email list.  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹
