CONTINUE YOUR PLEDGE OR DONATION ONLINE
DURING THE CORONA VIRUS CRISIS 

We are grateful for each and every dollar we receive here at St. Nick's, and each one of those dollars goes to good use. We keep a lean budget, and our finance committee carefully monitors every line. 
 
While we are not meeting in person for worship on Sunday mornings, we expect that plate donations will drop. And with so much economic uncertainty, we know that home budgets might change. In order to facilitate continued giving, we have reactivated our church PayPal account. Using the button below, you can make your pledge or donation online. 
Donate Online
Additionally, you can also set up auto-draft from your own bank account using your online banking. This will cause a paper check to be sent to our mailbox at 37 Point St., which we are checking each day. The Vestry are doing the normal count, and our parish administrator, Dana, continues to record pledges in our system. 

ZOOM OFFICE HOURS Mtr. Leigh will offer office hours each Wednesday, 10am- 12pm via Zoom Conference call.  These will be one on one meetings with Mtr. Leigh. An alternate option to replace Groundhog office hours for now. The links for these conference calls will be sent in a later email on the corresponding day so keep a look out for them in your inbox. For those using the phone, there will be a call-in option as well. 
 

ST. NICK'S ZOOM HAPPY HOUR Join your St. Nick's community weekly for Happy Hour via Zoom conference call. Grab your favorite beverage -- coffee, tea, beer, wine, seltzer, whatever -- and hang out with us for an hour. There is no agenda! Zoom Happy Hour begins on Thursday, 4/2, from 4:45pm to 5:45pm and will continue throughout the coronavirus crisis. Hope to see you there!

 Storytime with Mtr. Leigh 
A special invitation for our young ones and those who are young at heart:
Join Mtr. Leigh each week as she reads a children's book via Zoom conference call. She does all the voices! 

Next up, on Wednesday, April 15th at 2:30pm, is When God Made You, By Matthew David Turner and illustrated by David Catrow. 

A link to join the next storytime will be found in your inbox 15 minutes prior to the time on the corresponding day. 
 
 
BUDDY GROUPS Our parish has been broken up into nine groups of six or seven households and assigned parishioners to be captains of those groups. The captains are a mix of vestry and other lay leaders in the parish. They will be in touch with you to check in and to make sure all is well with you. They will also help me to know what your needs are, be they pastoral or logistical. While you should feel free to call any member of the parish now, Buddy Groups will ensure that no one slips through the cracks, and that our elders, in particular, are getting the care they need right now.

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 😊

Then at 7:30 pm we are entertained with music by Willow Blue and hold a Chinese Auction. There is always great door prizes. If interested, please contact Trish Parent at triciap71@gmail.com

THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S
The Baptism of Our Lord
January 12, 2020
Services are at 9am & 10am

ALTAR FLOWERS THIS SUNDAY have been given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Al Blodgett on the occasion of his birthday by Sue Blodgett.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PARISH will be held on Sunday, January 26, 2020.  This is a potluck event, please sign up to bring a dish to share. The clipboard and signup sheet are in the Narthex. We will also be voting

VESTRY ELECTIONS 2020 During the annual meeting on January 26th, we will elect a new class of vestry members to replace the following members, whose terms expire at the annual meeting 2020:
 
Deb Evans
Jack Parry
Cyndy Wisdo (fulfilling a one-year term for Christine Ackerly)
 
Have YOU considered running for Vestry?!
It is often said that Vestry meetings are “the business meeting of the church,” and while that’s somewhat true, the Vestry also consists of spiritually grounded persons who seek to further the mission and ministry of our Church. It is a group that is necessarily concerned with both the “why” (why we do what we do as church) AND the “how” (the logistics of carrying that out). Members serve for a three-year term and are eligible to serve for as long as six years. We have a monthly meeting on the second Wednesday from 7:30pm to 9pm, and we adhere to that time limit. Some years we have a Vestry retreat. Ours is a working Vestry, meaning that each member takes ownership of an area of ministry. This arises out of the member’s own gifts and passions.

The Vestry is an integral part of the parish! No one person can run this place alone — and no one should. But if you’d like to see St. Nick’s grow and thrive, your being on the Vestry would be the most efficient and helpful way to make that happen. Either the Rector or any Vestry member (listed below, along with the year their terms expire) would be happy to talk with you about what it’s like to be on the Vestry.

Debra Evans 2020*
Janine Gauzza (Sr Warden) 2021
Joe Haubrich, II 2022
Jack Parry 2020*
Greg Freeman (Jr Warden)
2021 Dorothy Jackson (Clerk) 2022
Cyndy Wisdo 2020*
Edie Palm 2021

* As they have served only one three-year term, these members are eligible for re-election.
