THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S 
January 29, 2017
Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany

ANNUAL MEETING AND PARISH POTLUCK 2017 
THIS SUNDAY: NO 9AM SERVICE, 10AM ONLY  
HELLO PARISHIONERS - A reminder that we will only be having one service this Sunday at 10 o'clock. This is so we can all make our way to the Yacht Club together for our annual meeting and potluck lunch. Sign-up to bring a dish HERE or just check what you have already signed up to bring. Everyone is welcome so please plan to attend! This is a great way to learn about our parish - how we operate, what happens "behind the scenes", who our vestry members are and lots more! 

ADULT ED SERIES: CAREER CONVERSATIONS For the next two Sundays February 5th and February 12th we'll pick up again with the adult education program started this past Fall. Following the 10am services two members of our parish will talk about their lives outside of church: what they do, how they chose that line of work and what inspired them along the way to choose their career path. These are always a good time, why not grab a cup of coffee and head back up to the sanctuary to join in the conversations.
Speakers: 
February 5 - Alison Spear and Alex Reese
February 12 - Jack and Beth Devine

  ANNUAL COOKIE WALK This years cookie walk is on Saturday, February 11 from 9-2 at the Poughkeepsie United Methodist Church. Bakers and buyers are needed. Sign-up to make cookies is this Sunday January 29 and 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.

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. If you are not subscribed to this email but would like to be you can contact Dana in the office to be added to the list.

COFFEE HOUR Volunteers needed!! We always have slots open for those who would like to host. It can be simple: donuts, 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 and ideas, and to sign up. Thank you!

SEARCH COMMITTEE The diocese has approved St. Nick's application to officially begin our search for a new Rector. Our Parish Profile has been posted on the parish website HERE. We also have a few printed copies around the church. The Search Committee will review all applications received between now and December 5 and then start evaluations. Many thanks to Serena Starzyk for coordinating the preparation of the profile and to the many parishioners who contributed to the effort.  

PASTORAL MINISTRY If you have concern for yourself, a family member or friend, please contact the Interim Pastor, The Rev. Peter Sipple at (534 2864) or email sipplemp@gmail.com.

You may wish to speak with one of them as well. They are, Liz Pavelka (297 4907), Polly Myhrum (297 5681), Rachel VanDerStuyf (896 2137), Melanie Hexel (297 3114), or Paul Curran (914 844 0894).
