A new feature in the Gathering Space is our Gratitude Tree. Conceived by our Stewardship Team and lovingly created by Penny and Hank Mandziara; the Gratitude Tree provides us all the opportunity to express, in writing, our thanks and gratitude for the many blessings with which we are bestowed. We invite all our parish family to stop by, take a moment and write down what we are thankful and grateful for and place that tag upon the tree. The Gratitude Tree is a gift to us, just as each and every member of our community of faith is a gift to St. Nicholas and to one another.

It’s that time of year again – how quickly time passes! Fannie May catalogs and order forms are now available. This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds for St. Nicholas and it’s easy. St. Nicholas receives Fannie May at 30% below store prices. We pass a 10% savings on to our customers and St. Nicholas receives 20%. In 2011, we made a profit of $450. Let’s keep up the good work.

Please distribute the catalogs and order forms to family, friends, and work mates. The sale runs through November 11. Orders are to be returned to St. Nicholas by November 11. Orders will be delivered to your home the week of December 3. If you have any questions, please call Pat Kalicki at 847-882-3364 or email pat@stnicholasepiscopal.org
