LOVE INC. PERSONAL CARE PANTRY
Let's help our neighbors in need! July and August are the months that St. Nick's makes our push for pantry supplies. It's as easy as picking up an extra tooth paste, dish soap, paper towels or anything on the following list while your already at the store. Items can be dropped in the LOVE INC. box at the back of the church. If we all give one item we can stock the shelves in no time!
Personal Pantry Supply List:
(family size) laundry/dish detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, feminine products, shampoo/conditioner, combs, brushes, toothbrushes/paste, bar soap, deodorant, razors and shaving cream.
SIGN-UP FOR ALTAR FLOWERS
Did you know you can sign-up to have the altar guild buy flowers in memory of or in thanksgiving for a loved one? Just sign-up on the poster on the Sacristy door and we will make sure your memorial or thanksgiving is observed on the appropriate day. Suggested donation is $25, to be put in the plate (memo line "flower memorial/thanksgiving").
PASTORAL MINISTRY
If you have concern for yourself, a family member or friend, please contact Mother Leigh Hall at 706-296-2759 or email leighellenhall@gmail.com
"ROTA" THROUGH AUGUST IS HERE
Please remember if you cannot honor your commitment to serve, the list of available readers and servers is located at the beginning of the posted ROTA so you can find a replacement.
COFFEE HOUR
Interested in hosting coffee hour? It can be simple: Cookies, carrot sticks, crackers and cheese - whatever you can pick up at the store. The coffee is already made for you by the altar guild. Click HERE for instructions, ideas,and to sign up. Thank you!
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Thank you to everyone who continues to give to St. Nick's capital campaign. It is because of your generosity and time that has been dedicated to this project that we have been able to make a more firm foundation for our worship space. Anyone who would like to check their pledge status can contact Dana at stnicholasnewhamburg@gmail.com. Those of you who would like to make a payment towards your campaign pledge here are two easy ways to make a payment:
1. Put your payment into the big box in the back of the church which is marked "Capital Campaign". Please write "Capital Campaign" on all checks, this will help keep Sunday donations distinct from campaign donations.
2. Mail your payment to the St. Nick's at 37 Point St., New Hamburg NY. Once again please write "Capital Campaign" on all checks.
