THIS SUNDAY AT ST. NICK'S
Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 22, 2019
Services are at 9am & 10am
Parish Picnic at the Freemans: September 29th
Our annual Parish Picnic is a potluck so please sign-up to bring a side dish HERE or on the Sign-up sheet in the Narthex. Greg and Joan will provide the burgers and dogs and will have a basket for donations. This is a relaxed event in the Freemans' backyard that allows folks an opportunity to chat outside church and to enjoy a spectacular view of the Hudson. You won't want to miss it. Many thanks to Greg and Joan for hosting us another year.
Update Your Photo for the Parish Directory We are working on an update of the parish directory. Many of you need new photos taken - either because your children have aged, or the quality of the photos we have could be a bit better, or because you are new to this parish (exciting!). Mtr. Leigh will have her camera with her on all the Sundays through October for photo-ops. If there's a certain Sunday you definitely want your photo taken, please let us know by emailing the office.
THE ALTAR FLOWERS THIS SUNDAY are given to the glory of God and in loving memory of Joseph Sessa by Stacey Messler & Colin Cuite.
