STATIONS OF THE CROSS FRIDAYS AT 12:15 Remember our stations service at the church every Friday through Good Friday. This quiet, meditative service lasts 20 minutes and is a good way to center yourself and remember the season.
COFFEE HOUR - SIGN UP HERE We have LOTS of coffee hour slots open - help! It can be simple: donuts, carrot sticks, crackers and cheese - whatever you can pick up at the store. The coffee is already made. Click on the link about for ideas/instructions, and to sign up. Thank you!
OUTREACH MEETING THIS SUNDAY The Outreach Committee meets monthly to discuss projects our parish can take part in, as well as to look after people in our own community in need - shut-ins, the sick, those needing prayers. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings and/or join the committee. Starts at 11:20 by Astrid's desk downstairs.
THIS SUNDAY AFTER CHURCH: SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER MEETING
Teachers: remember our meeting right after the 10 am service to go through details for Astrid's maternity leave. We'll meet right away down by her desk.
COMING UP: BISHOP'S VISIT & CONFIRMATIONS MARCH 22 NEXT WEEK! Bishop Allen Shin will be visiting St. Nick's to confirm several of our adults. Come support our newest confirmands! We will make sure there's plenty of seating, but do arrive a little on the early side.
9 AM SERVICE MOVES TO 8:30 AM MARCH 22 & MARCH 29 To ease flow and allow the choir to practice anthems, the 9 am will meet at 8:30 for two weeks. 9 o'clockers: big apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for being accommodating!

EASTER VIGIL BAPTISMS - "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" In keeping with our tradition, we will have "open" baptisms at our Easter Vigil.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LENTEN PROJECT FOR EPISCOPAL RELIEF AND DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES THIS SUNDAY For the second year in a row, the kids will collect change every Sunday in Lent to buy their choice of animals - pigs, goats, chickens - for families in the developing world. This project was a huge hit last year. To help them reach their goal, bring some spare change to church with you and put it in one of the plastic eggs provided in the back.
