Day of Pentecost

Send us a video of your version of Pentecost to this link: 
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11Ob7n8NW_QhQLyBS9RtkWjbir27hYeSf?usp=sharing
These videos will be edited into a collaboration for Whitsunday. The scripture below can help you get started. Can't wait to your videos!
Acts 2:1-21When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power." All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others sneered and said, "They are filled with new wine."

Sunday Morning

NEW! Organ prelude, worship, coffee hour, and children's Sunday School will all be contained in one Zoom call.

Sunday Morning Worship Here's what you need to know...


During this time of social distancing, we've taken our worship online completely, and we've been pre-recording videos of services and posting them for you to view at 9:30am on Sundays.

As we continue to worship virtually, we will continue to worship at 9:30am on Sundays, but going forward, we will do it through Zoom videoconferencing. Here's how it will work.

-At 9:30am, our worship service begins.
Begin joining as early as 9:15am by clicking this link: https://zoom.us/j/96225217483 or calling this number by phone:  +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)

-During worship, your video and audio will be disabled by me, the host, so this will be a webinar-style format wherein you can see and hear but not be seen or heard yourself.

-We will watch the pre-recorded service together via screen share.
-A shared slideshow will allow you to fully participate in the service
-We have taken all appropriate and recommended steps to make Zoom more secure
-When the service ends, we will have Zoom coffee hour at 10am, followed by children's Sunday School at 10:30am. 
-The service will be available later in the day on our St. Nick's Facebook page and our YouTube channel 
-If you would like to volunteer to help me lead virtual worship, please email

Important: Coffee Hour and children's Sunday School will be held in a single, separate Zoom meeting. So the worship meeting will end and the second meeting will begin.

To enter coffee hour/children's Sunday School at 10:00am, you'll need to click on this separate meeting link: https://zoom.us/j/665915551?pwd=UXJiOGtSTkExMkgxR2huMCtqeUcxQT09 If prompted, the password for the coffee hour/children's Sunday School meeting is Myra.

​SO WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU ALL!!
What a wonderful surprise it was to see the parish back in the pews quarantine style. This was truly heart warming. It is such a blessing to see all the ways we are staying connected during this time.

Sunday Morning Worship is Changing
Here's what you need to know

During this time of social distancing, we've taken our worship online completely, and we've been pre-recording videos of services and posting them for you to view at 9:30am on Sundays.

As we continue to worship virtually, we will continue to worship at 9:30am on Sundays, but going forward, we will do it through Zoom videoconferencing. Here's how it will work.

-At 9:30am, our worship service begins.
Begin joining as early as 9:15am by clicking this link: https://zoom.us/j/96225217483 or calling this number by phone:  +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)

-During worship, your video and audio will be disabled by me, the host, so this will be a webinar-style format wherein you can see and hear but not be seen or heard yourself.

-We will watch the pre-recorded service together via screen share.
-A shared slideshow will allow you to fully participate in the service
-We have taken all appropriate and recommended steps to make Zoom more secure
-When the service ends, we will have Zoom coffee hour at 10am, followed by children's Sunday School at 10:30am. 
-The service will be available later in the day on our St. Nick's Facebook page and our YouTube channel 
-If you would like to volunteer to help me lead virtual worship, please email

Important: Coffee Hour and children's Sunday School will be held in a single, separate Zoom meeting. So the worship meeting will end and the second meeting will begin.

To enter coffee hour/children's Sunday School at 10:00am, you'll need to click on this separate meeting link: https://zoom.us/j/665915551?pwd=UXJiOGtSTkExMkgxR2huMCtqeUcxQT09 If prompted, the password for the coffee hour/children's Sunday School meeting is Myra.

St Nicks Spring Cleanup
Your little church yard is looking great this spring!  It's nice to see the plantings from the previous couple years doing well, helped so far by a little weeding from parishioners. Thank you!
While we won't be organizing a Spring Clean-up Day this year,  there's much that we can do on our own or as a family to get some needed Spring cleaning done. Maybe finding time on a beautiful day to visit the church to keep it looking beautiful.
Some of the things that need our attention are: On the exterior, weeding all around, raking, and some general cleanup is needed.  On the inside, window cleaning (in and out), refrigerator cleanup, and cabinet organizing can always be done. 
For inside work, please reach out to Dana stnicholasnewhamburg@gmail.com  to be sure the office is not in use.   
For tools you need, for building entry, or to discuss, please reach out to me gregfreeman262@gmail.com

They will also help me to know what your needs are, be they pastoral or logistical.

THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S
The First Sunday in Lent
March 1, 2020
Services are at 9am & 10am

- A NOTE FROM THE RECTOR - 
 
Dear siblings in Christ,

In the past several days, I've heard many of you expressing concerns about the coronoavirus and COVID-19, the disease the coronavirus causes. I, too, share your concerns and want our church to take some precautions during this uncertain time. 

As the knowledge of the virus is still developing, our practices may need to change, but as of this writing and going forward into Lent 2, Sunday, March 8, these will be the practices we adopt here at St. Nick's for Sunday worship. These are suggestions and good practices I've gleaned from multiple letters from bishops and news articles, to include missives from our bishops in the Diocese of New York and the Diocese of Los Angeles.

1. If you are sick, do not come to church. Call your doctor. Discourage others who are sick from coming to church and encourage them to call their doctor.

2. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Do it a lot. Several times a day. Prior to the administration of Holy Communion, the entire altar party and I will go downstairs to wash our hands right after you say, "And also with you" at the Peace. As an extra measure, the entire altar party and I will use alcohol-based liquid hand sanitizer before we distribute communion bread and wine. Hand sanitizer is available on the first pew on the left and the right. Please avail yourself it as you come up to the communion rail.

3. Do not, under any circumstances, intinct (dip) your wafer into the chalice with your own hands. For the time being, intinction will be suspended completely during Communion. You can also choose not to receive the wine at all. Remember a core principle of our Eucharistic theology, which is that the sacrament is complete when administered in just one kind. This means that Communion is still valid if you receive consecrated bread only. 

4. There are many ways to pass the Peace. Please observe the right to consent and recognize that some people will understandably want to avoid shaking hands, hugging, or kissing on the cheek at this time. Please opt to fistbump, elbow bump, put up a peace sign, bow to one another, or wave in lieu of shaking hands, hugging, or kissing your neighbor on the cheek during the passing of the Peace. 

5. At all times, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth – the places germs enter the body.

6. When you cough, cough into your bent elbow, not into your hand. If you have to blow your nose, dispose of the tissue as soon as possible in a waste container with a lid that closes (outside the church) and either wash your hands immediately or use an alcohol-based liquid to sanitize your hands.

7. Keep your distance. We don’t have to be in each other’s faces to talk. This is particularly important if someone is coughing or sneezing.

8. I will be checking in with our elderly and homebound parishioners and you should feel free to do the same by calling, emailing, or texting.


The common sense things also apply here: be sure to get plenty of sleep, hydrate, and eat healthily. 

Up-to-date information is a good antidote for anxiety. Visit the website of the World Health Organization for frequent updates. Go to the page below and click “Protect Yourself” to find downloadable materials in Chinese, English, Spanish, and other languages as well as information about how to deal with anxiety over the disease: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019

And don't forget to pray, for those who are suffering from the disease, for all those who are fearful and anxious over it, and for the health care workers who are developing vaccines and caring for those who are ill.
 
Holy and gracious God, give us the strength to meet the health crisis looming around us. Enlighten researchers that they may discover the right vaccine against this disease. Guide the doctors, nurses and all medical technicians working with those who are infected to take correct actions for their care. Protect all medical staff and family or friends caring for those who are ill. Bring together the governments and governmental agencies around the world to work together to eradicate this health threat. All this we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Material liberally borrowed from The Rt. Rev. Diane Jardine Bruce, Bishop Suffragan, Diocese of Los Angeles.

NEXT FOYER DINNER GROUP The French meaning of the word "foyer" can be home or "hearth" or "hearthside." These dinner groups exist to bring parishioners and friends together in a casual environment outside of Sunday mornings. The next foyer group will be meeting Friday,  March 20th at 6:30pm at the home of Dorothy & Fred Jackson, they are looking forward to having you in their home.  All are welcome to come and bring a friend. Please call/text or email Dorothy at 203-521-4747 or dorothyjackson6@gmail.com.


 LENT MADNESS - Who will win the golden halo? Lent Madness is a fun way to learn about the saints, who are placed into a tournament-like style elimination bracket. Each pairing remains open for a set period and people vote online for their favorite saint. Look for our bracket downstairs & check out lentmadness.org for more information.

 
WEDNESDAYS IN LENT Join Mtr. Leigh for Wendell Berry Wednesdays, an adult formation opportunity focusing on sabbath. Berry’s This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems. Each session will be offered twice on Wednesdays: once during the day (with Holy Eucharist at noon followed by soup and discussion at 12:30p) and once in the evening (with spoken Evening Prayer at 6p followed by soup and discussion at 6:30p).

 
EGGS FOR ERD IS BACK!
CHILDREN’S LENTEN PROJECT TO SUPPORT EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT – AND HOW YOU CAN HELP! Throughout Lent, the Sunday school kids will be raising money to buy a goat, pig, chicken, or all the above for a family in a developing country through Episcopal Relief and Development. If you want to help them reach their goal, just pick up a plastic egg in the back of the church, put some coins in it, then place the egg in the offering plate next Sunday 😊
