This week at St. Nicholas

Wednesday, July 14
6:00am - First Hour payers
7:00pm - Daily Vespers. Parish Council meeting to follow.

Thursday, July 15
6:30pm - Summer OCF at the church. We are reading and discussing The Enlargement of the Heart.

Next Sunday immediately following Divine Liturgy, Fr. James will be blessing our vehicles in remembrance of St. Elias and his departure from this temporary life in a flaming chariot. Please clean your cars inside and out and have the windows/doors open so Father can easily sprinkle the holy water on them as he goes through the parking lot.

Resa Ellison

On Sunday, November 8, Resa Ellison was admitted to Unity Hospital in Fridley, MN, with H1N1 and pneumonia. In addition to being the choir director at St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral in Minneapolis, MN, Resa is also the daughter of Fr. James and Kh. Linda.

To keep friends and family members updated on news on Resa and her condition, a CaringBridge account has been set up. If you would like to read her journal or post well-wishes on her guestbook, click here

Additionally, a fund has been set up to help with some of the extraordinary costs associated with treating Resa's illness. To access the Resa Ellison fund, click here.
