September 27, 2015
Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost
SILENT AUCTION SEPTEMBER 26, 5-9 PM That's TOMORROW!! As of this writing, we have 4 tickets left. Buy them before someone else does! You can get your tickets through our website or at the door.
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.
OUTREACH COMMITTEE MEETING THIS SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 27 The outreach committee meets every month after the 10 am service to discuss and organize ways we can help in our community. If you have ideas for the committee or would like to join, please drop in. All are welcome. Note: if you'd like to discuss ways we can address the migrant & refugee crisis, that will be on our agenda on the 27th. Meantime, here's a letter from Bishop Dietsche about ways we in the diocese can help.
FALL SERIES "WASTE NOT" BEGINS 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!
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.
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 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.
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!
