Note: if you'd like to discuss ways we can address the migrant & refugee crisis, that will be on our agenda on the 27th.
SILENT AUCTION SEPTEMBER 26 - BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW - AND WE MEAN NOW! This Sunday is the LAST day to buy tickets! They are available on our website , at church this week, and at the picnic Look for Joe Haubrich at the 9 am service, and Mary Hornbeck at the 10 am service. The annual silent auction is an important fundraiser for our church, and a great time - plus we have some wonderful items - see below ...
SILENT AUCTION ITEMS INCLUDE hair salon certificates, bottini fuel oil, pottery, car detailing, knitted blankets, car detailing, concert tickets, wine, certificates to local restaurants, a tattoo, kids' baskets, nesting dolls, prints by a local artist - lots of great stuff. You can find the complete list HERE. Don't miss it!!
HAITI READ-A-THON Thank you to all the kids who read this summer to provide scholarships for school kids in Darbonne, Haiti. We raised nearly $2000.00! Thanks, also, to our volunteers who made this possible: Joan Freeman, Debbie Evans, Liz Pavelka and Eileen Doherty.
LOOKING FOR WEDDING "DOCENTS" Interested in helping out with weddings? The wedding "docent" helps Astrid by coordinating the procession and recession, and helping with various other issues that come up outside the liturgy itself. If you're interested - and we very much need more people to help with this! - email Astrid.
CHILI FEST CRAFT FAIR - SAVE THE DATE & ITEMS NEEDED This year's craft fair, chili fest and rummage sale will be on Saturday November 21. If you're cleaning out and have things you'd like to sell, please set them aside and bring them to church the week of November 15. Also, if you have paper grocery bags you don't need, please bring them to the church any time between now and November 21. You can leave them downstairs in the kitchen.
SUNDAY SCHOOL IS BACK! Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to join the Sunday school group downstairs for the first half of the 10 am service. Older kids who would like to help can also attend. The kids will be doing an eight-week unit on the creation story in Genesis with an emphasis on stewardship of God's earth.
STEWARDSHIP GROUP Our season for financial stewardship at St. Nick's is coming up, and the Stewardship committee could use your help! If you're able to help out in any way, please contact Astrid.
PARENT-TEACHER WEEKLY EMAIL goes out every Thursday and contains information on the upcoming Sunday school lesson, goings on for kids, nursery news, etc. If you'd like to be on that list, contact Dana at [email protected] and she will add you.
COFFEE HOURS - SIGN UP ANY TIME RIGHT HERE 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 on the link above for instructions and ideas, and to sign up. Thank you!
