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:

SCHOOL SUPPLY DONATIONS FOR VBS OUTREACH PROJECT
We will continue to collect general school supplies for one of the Outreach projects the children worked on during VBS. Listed are the items needed:
Boxes of crayons, pencils, colored pencils, markers, rulers, notebooks, binders, loose leaf, glue sticks / tape, little pencil sharpeners, erasers, highlighter, pencil cases, kid safe scissors. Anything that you can donate is greatly appreciated. Please place your donations in the "VBS" basket located in the back of the church.
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").
CONFIRMATION CLASS Mother Leigh would like to assess the need for a confirmation class (to take place before the October 1st bishop's visitation). Should you or your child wish to be confirmed, received, or reaffirmed, please see Mother Leigh or contact Dana in the office.
PASTORAL MINISTRY If you have concern for yourself, a family member or friend, please contact Mother Leigh Hall at 706-296-2759 or email [email protected]
"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.

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 [email protected]. 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.
