FRIENDS OF DARBONNE READ-A-THON - THANK YOU
to Joan Freeman and all the children, parents and sponsors who participated in the Read-a-thon this year. With the combined efforts of St. Nick's, Zion Church, and Church of the Resurrection we raised $2732.25! This is approximately nine scholarships for the children of Darbonne, Haiti to attend school. Great Job!
RECTOR INSTALLATION & CELEBRATION OF NEW MINISTRY
All are invited to St. Nick's for this special event next Saturday, October 21st at 4pm.
ST. NICK'S CHURCH FAIR
We are looking for volunteer crafters to make goods for our annual church fair coming in November. If you are interested in putting your talents to good use, please see Mary Hornbeck for details.
"COME AWAY WITH ME" CURSILLO RETREAT
is a three-day retreat coming up on October 26th - 29th. There is no cost to candidates, all you have to do is say yes and make the time. To learn more about about Cursillo please contact Liz Pavelka, Eileen Doherty, Debbie Evans or Leeann Haubrich and/or visit the NY Diocese Cursillo website HERE.
COMING SOON: STEWARDSHIP AT ST. NICK'S This is the time of year we secure pledges and the budget for the following year. Look for more to come in the following weeks about stewardship and annual giving.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Do you have a new address, phone number or just need to make corrections to your current information? Beginning this Sunday, there will be a labeled directory in the back of the church for you to jot down your new information.
PERSONAL CARE PANTRY
As the rising costs of household necessities make more demand on the budgets of our clients, the bigger difference our donations make. Please think about taking the time to pick up an item or two for our local families in need. Following is a list of items needed to stock the shelves: Laundry/dish detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, feminine products, shampoo/conditioner/ combs/brushes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bar soap, deodorant, razors, and shaving cream. The Linen Ministry needs gently used blankets and towels.
PASTORAL MINISTRY
If you have concern for yourself, a family member or friend, please contact Mother Leigh Hall at 706-296-2759 or email leighellenhall@gmail.com
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Thank you to everyone who continues to give to St. Nick's capital campaign. It is because of your generosity and 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 stnicholasnewhamburg@gmail.com. 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.
COFFEE HOUR
Interested in hosting coffee hour? It can be simple: Cookies, 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, ideas, and to sign up. Thank you!
