ANNUAL MEETING AND PARISH POTLUCK 2017 A big thank you to everyone who chipped in to make the Annual Meeting a great success! There was lots of important information and yummy food that was shared thanks to all who contributed. If you weren't able to attend but would like to check out the information that was shared, contact Dana in the office at 297-2010 or email her at [email protected].
THIS SUNDAY ADULT ED continues after the 10 am service with "Career Conversations". Pastor Fred Jackson will introduce speakers Jack Devine and Alex Reese. Grab a cup of joe and head back up stairs to join in the conversations.
NEXT PROPERTY COMMITTEE MEETING is next Wednesday, February 8 at 7:30 and will meet in the upstairs worship space. There is lots to be discussed. Anyone interested in getting involved with the property committee please join us.
ANNUAL COOKIE WALK is on Saturday, February 11 from 9-2 at the Poughkeepsie United Methodist Church, 2381 New Hackensack Rd, Poughkeepsie in the Fellowship Hall. Come on down and get a box of goodies for you, your neighbors or even for church coffee hour. If you would like to bake cookies for this event please see Liz Pavelka to sign up by this Sunday February 5.
ACOLYTE TRAINING: If your school grade is fourth or higher, whether you have served previously as an acolyte or not, we invite you to take part in an acolyte training meeting. For one-half hour following the 10:00 AM service on Sunday, Feb. 19, meet in the church with Mrs. Pavelka and Fr. Peter to learn (more) about serving as an acolyte at St. Nick’s. If you’ve not served in the past, please join us. If you have served, come and refresh your knowledge and skills. We need you all!
SAVE THE DATE! 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.
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.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS Thank you to everyone who has given to St. Nick's capital campaign. It is because of your generosity and the 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.
SUNDAY SCHOOL for kids ages 4-12 is available at the 10am service. Parents check out the weekly Parent/Teacher email for more information about what the children will be learning about.
