Dear friends,

Jeremy and I are about to head out for vacation to see his family. Over the next few weeks we will have a different schedule and want to share that information along with some upcoming changes and important numbers with you...

The 8:30am Outdoor Worship will take a break until August 18th. When it resumes it will have a new start time - 8am.

While we are away there will be a 9:30am Worship with Live Stream. Here is the worship plan for the following dates -

• July 14th - Montana is teaching about and leading morning prayer. In addition, everyone is invited to Splash Day at Bulverde Community Park right around the corner from St. Nick's.
• July 21st - The Rev. Martha Mckee is joining us for the Celebration of Holy Communion. Martha is a wonderful priest who worships in Buda and comes and helps us when she can. After worship stay and enjoy ice cream sundaes and each other's company.
• July 28th - Montana is leading us and other members of our congregation are helping with a favorite Hymn Sing. Join in for prayers and songs as we make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
• August 4th - The Rev. Martha McKee is back to celebrate Holy Communion again. Please thank her for her time with us. She is a blessing as she uses her gifts to help out churches when they need a priest to help.

If you need special prayers, meals, communion, or pastoral care, you will want to contact our Family Minister Jena and Betsy, the leader of our Lay Eucharistic Visitor ministry. Jena can be reached at familyminister@stnickshillcountry.org or 253-561-2377 and Betsy can be reached at betsyrogers75@gmail.com or 303-709-9273.

I hope you will show up for one another, gather, and continue to praise the Lord while we are away. As we gather in the Anglican Church in Australia we will take great delight that we are saying the same prayers a world away.

God’s Peace, Love, and Blessings,

Beth+
