Becoming a Mystic: A New Relationship with God Through Meditation

Saturday, September 7, 2024, 9 am to 4 pm,

St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, 69 Mobley Road, Hamilton, GA 31811

Cost: $45 per person (Registration required), Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

Most of us feel uncertain when it comes to prayer. We believe in God. Maybe we go to church. But we aren’t confident about how to abide in Christ, how to be with God, how to experience the Divine Presence. In this retreat, we hope to demystify meditation and prayer so that everyone leaves with a sense of excitement and acceptance that these are gifts available to us all. As we explore the relationship between meditation and prayer, we will practice together so that each participant leaves with a deeper confidence about how to live as a mystic. The day will be informative, relaxing and impactful. You will leave with a renewed sense of God’s presence in your life.

We are a church of loving, committed and searching Christians who value diversity and cherish the gifts of young and old alike. We welcome ALL God’s children into our sacramental community, respecting the dignity of every person as we are called to a ministry of reconciliation and inclusion. You are welcome here as God’s own.

Like the apostle Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our lives together and find ourselves transformed.

We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us!

We know finding a church can be hard. We were all new to St. Thomas once, so let us tell you a little about ourselves.

We are named for the apostle Thomas, whose life was changed when he encountered the risen Christ. His confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” is printed above our altar.

Like Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our life together and find our lives transformed. We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us.

St. Thomas was founded in 1958 and is a congregation of about 400-600 people. A few folks have been here for a long time, but a lot of us are newcomers! Some of us grew up as Episcopalians, some of us came from other Christian traditions, and some of us have no religious background at all!

It is easy to join St. Thomas as a member. Just tell us you want to belong, and we'll enroll you as a baptized member of the congregation. If you've never been baptized, contact Rev. Grace to schedule a time for Holy Baptism. We look forward to being in touch with you.

Contact Patty in the church office at [email protected] with questions.

2024 will be a memorable year for St. Thomas. We hope to complete a renovation of the nave which will make it possible for all to gather at the altar rail and for all to sing with the choir and serve in worship. We are making these changes because of our commitment to love EVERY person.

When the Nave and Chapel of St. Thomas were dedicated in 1972, the congregation knew they had built a space for more than themselves.

They did this for future members of St. Thomas. This did this for the wider community. They did this for us and for all who will come after us.
