THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S
March 5, 2017
First Sunday in Lent
THANK YOU, THANK YOU To everyone who came together to pull off a wonderful pancake supper this year. The food was yummy and we had a terrific turn out, all of which made for a fun-filled, successful event.
OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW This Sunday we will sing goodbye to our organ for over 30 years. If there is anyone who knows of an aspiring music student or organization etc. that would be interested in giving our old organ a new home please contact the church office. The new organ will make it's Sunday debut, next sunday, March 12. Many thanks to Colin Cuite and George Hemroth who provided many hours of their talents this week to install the speakers for the new organ.
THIS SUNDAY the Outreach Committee will meet after the 10am serivce.
NEXT PROPERTY COMMITTEE MEETING will be next Wednesday, March 8. Agenda includes the landscape work we want to have done in the spring. All are welcome to join.
LENT AND HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE is now available HERE.
CHILDREN'S ERD LENTEN PROJECT kicks off this Sunday. During Lent the children will be raising money to purchase a goat, a pig or maybe even a flock of chickens for a family in a developing country through Episcopal Relief and Development. Let's all chip in to make this our best year yet! You can help them reach their goal by taking home an egg on Sunday, filling it with coins and dropping it back of in the offering plate the following Sunday. The results will be announced on Easter Sunday.
"EVERYTHING ROTA" The NEW schedule through May is HERE. Check it out to see the assignments for Lent and Holy week 2017. If you would like to be included on the list of readers/servers or acolytes please contact Dana at [email protected].
LAY EUCHARISTIC 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.
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. 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 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!
