THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S - DECEMBER 8
THE FEAST OF ST. NICHOLAS OF MYRA!

ST. NICHOLAS, patron saint of sailors, pawnbrokers, thieves, maidens, Greece, and ... who else?  Oh, children!, is on the high seas now making his way to St. Nick's Church, and promises to arrive well in time for the 10 am service. Don't miss his annual visit this Sunday, and spread the word to friends and neighbors! 

LOVE INC CHRISTMAS GIFT DRIVE   Thank you to everyone who signed up for the Love Inc gift drive last week. You can still "adopt" a child or family. Sign up sheets will be upstairs and down, and you'll be assigned a particular child with his or her gift request.  Listen at announcements for more information, and/or talk to Liz Pavelka and Paul Curran.  Gifts must be wrapped and delivered to the church on December 15.  They will then be delivered to families on Dec. 22.

DID YOU SIGN UP FOR CHILD #17?  LOOKING FOR GIFT-GIVER  Did you sign up for the child assigned the number 17?  Please let Paul Curran know so he can be sure he/she has a gift coming. Paul's email is paul.curran@bqenergy.com.

If you haven't yet turned in your pledge card, you can do so at the offering this Sunday, or send it to the church any time.
