CHOIR REHEARSALS BEGIN OCTOBER 25 - NEW MEMBERS WELCOME It's that time! Our choir will soon begin preparing for the Lessons and Carols and Christmas Eve services. Rehearsals take place after church on Sundays, starting October 25. Interested in joining this season? Everyone is welcome! Talk to Dan after the service or email him at [email protected].
FALL SERIES "WASTE NOT" BEGINS NEXT SUNDAY OCTOBER 18 This fall, we will be discussing and learning about ways we can reduce our consumption - energy, food, at home and at church. Our first class will be on October 18, 11 am - noon, with a speaker from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to talk to us about the work we've been doing with them at St. Nick's, as well as about ways we can tackle energy waste in our homes. In November, someone from ZeroToGo in Beacon will be speaking with us about her organization's work to eliminate all food and paper/plastic waste, and in December, Mother Storm and the wardens will lead a discussion about the pope's recent encyclical on the environment and also the Anglican Communion's statements on this subject. Join us!
FALL BOOK GROUP - "THE SIXTH EXTINCTION" ON WEDS OCTOBER 28 Our fall book group meets Weds October 28, and we'll be reading Pulitzer Prize winning The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert (info at link). This goes with our "Waste Not" series, above. Books will be available at the church this Sunday, and you can buy them there for $12 each. Listen for more at Sunday's announcements. Join us!
FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP OF ST. NICK'S October is the month when we give thanks for another wonderful year and begin planning for the next year's budget. Please begin to think and pray about what you would like to pledge to our parish for the coming year, and listen during announcements starting October 11 for more.
