PERSONAL CARE PANTRY needs help stocking their shelves for families in need. The items needed for January and February are: Paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, laundry detergent and dish washing liquid. Linens Ministry could use gently used blankets and new pillows. Furniture Ministry needs able bodied volunteers to help with pick-up and delivery. Please see Liz P. or Eileen D. for more info.
MINISTER/EUCHARISTIC VISITOR Have you served as a Lay Eucharistic Minister (LEM) or Eucharistic Visitor (EV)? Whether you answer yes or no, the Diocese of NY requires that each of us carrying out these important liturgical roles knows what our responsibilities are. Moreover, the Diocese licenses each individual to carry out this mission. Do you need to get licensed or re-up a previous license? Plan to attend a 2017 LEM and EV training day, of which there are three coming up soon. The closest to St. Nick’s will take place at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Cornwall on Saturday, March 18, from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Those interested in attending please talk with Liz Pavelka or Peter Sipple.
