Our Annual Rummage Sale will take place on Friday, August 17 and Saturday, August 18, from 9AM to 3PM both days.

This is our major fundraiser for the year, and we need all hands on deck to make it a success.  How can you help?  We need:

  • Everyone to spread the word.  Go to our Facebook page and “join” the event and share with your friends. 
  • People to  let Manny know when they can spend an hour or two Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of the week of the sale to continue to organize and price.  
  • Everyone to sign up to volunteer on the dates of the sale.  We simply can’t have enough volunteers.  We  need cashiers for the main table and boutique room, floor walkers, greeters, baggers/wrappers. Click this link to sign up online.

Thank you, in advance!  The sale is a wonderful community-builder, and an opportunity to welcome people to St. Nicholas.  We guarantee you’ll have fun!  Most importantly, the whole idea is that everyone participate, however that’s possible for each person.

St Nick's Knacks Rummage Sale Aug 17 and 18

On August 17 and 18, a Friday and Saturday, we will hold our annual St. Nicholas Rummage Sale, from 9AM – 3PM. We will definitely need “all hands on deck” for this event. Start gathering your unwanted items to bring in. Ideally, we ask donations to be brought in starting August 1st. Holy Innocents Hall will be the site for the sale, which also spills out into the Gathering Space and into the office area. We will start setting up the Hall the week of August 13th, and need lots of help!

Plan ahead to see if you have any time to help set up, assist at the sale and to help clear things out on Saturday afternoon. 4:30 Liturgy follows immediately after.

Parish Picnic A Rousing Success, Nooners’ Picnic Today Too

Members and friends of the St Nicholas community gathered on July 14 for a wonderful picnic, held on the church’s front lawn. The church provided burgers and hot dogs, and everyone brought side dishes to share (and an appetite).

UPDATE: Check out the photo album on our Facebook page!! There was a bouncy castle, some suspiciously water-balloonish activity involving our vicar Fr. Manny, some terrific looking food and party punch, and even “boat races.”

An incredibly fun time was had by all and sundry.

Meanwhile, the “Nooners” AA support group held their picnic today. The grills were set up on the patio, and they were using Holy Innocents Hall for food prep and dining. The church was REALLY hopping this morning, as the Sunday morning service was moved into the sanctuary while the AA folks prepped for a fun time to be had by all in the hall. The food being prepared smelled delicious, and it looked like they were on track to have an overflow crowd. Many friendly greetings were exchanged (and longing eyes cast toward side dishes, watermelons, and salads being brought in).

As a community, we love sharing our space with so many support groups, and are humbled by the opportunity to help others in their journey to recovery. How wonderful it is to offer hospitality, and to receive it.
