My first regular column ran on Friday in the Midland paper. St. Nicholas’ will have a regular time for some space in the Religion section, and I hope we can use it to bring our Episcopal perspective and to offer thoughtful  reflections on the Christian faith and religious issues of interest to Midland. I have posted the article as a comment on the Let our Light Shine section of this blog. Comments and suggestions for further articles are welcome.

Both Service Times to Change on September 12

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

On September 12th, the times for both Sunday Services will change. The first service will begin at 9:30 AM and the second service will begin at 5:30 PM. We hope this slightly later time will make the first service more accessible both to parishioners and to the community while preserving our custom of an early main service.

The 5:30 PM Sunday Service will be something different. While we will keep the bilingual option, we will also be trying a bring a more casual, and a more meditative tone to the service. Darryl and Todd Houck will be helping with the music; and I hope, over the next several months, to develop an alternative worship experience at 5:30 PM. This will take a while, but bear with us, and help us with ideas and suggestions.

What About Television?

Monday, August 9th, 2010

We are looking at doing some advertising on local television. As a part of that, I’m curious about what you think of the idea, and about what you watch on television, and what you guess people who might be interested in St. Nick’s watch on TV.

We are definitely going to sponsor the PBS series God in America this Fall; but we are also thinking about cable and local network affiliates. All of this is still in process, and we’re not committed to doing anything. Still, we have something special here, and we need to let Midland know about it. Let me know what you think.
