A NOTE FROM FATHER SIPPLE Dear Friends at St. Nick's: Looking back on the three months we shared this past spring, I'm filled with vivid and pleasant memories of our time together. You made me feel thoroughly welcome, at home, and at ease.  Thank you for the leadership you are providing as a congregation. It was a special privilege to observe how many of you seized the opportunity to lead worship, guide the children downstairs, and look after one another. The parish is in very good hands! Margaret and I thank God for St. Nick's, its Rector, and our other new friends across the River. Yours faithfully, (The Rev.) Peter Sipple

CHILDCARE FOR ALL AGES DURING THE 10 AM SERVICE!  During the summer we will have nursery care AND ALSO a caregiver for any 4-12 year-olds who would like the option spending the first half of the service downstairs. A caregiver will be there with art supplies and to engage the kids in games (outside on nice days). As usual, they will then join us at Communion.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS Thank you to everyone who got your pledges in by the June 21 deadline. We are are now 88% of the way toward our goal, and are confident we can get all the way there. It's definitely not too late to hand in your pledge! Cards are in the back of the church every Sunday and you can either put it in the plate or mail it. You can also give online by clicking the link on our website. Remember, what's most important is that as many of us participate as possible, regardless of amount given.
