The Holy Hour Of Coffee At St Nicholas Needs YOU! Thanks Be To @JaroschBakery

Included in this announcement is a special shout-out to the wonderful people at Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove Village, who provide pastries at low or no cost so that we may provide hospitality to visitors and parishioners. Please follow them at Twitter @JaroschBakery or visit their Facebook page and click “Like!”

Our Holy Hour of Coffee wouldn’t be the same without the good things to eat from Jarosch. But we do need a few good men and women to step up and serve… coffee!

Maybe your ministry/talent is making coffee!? We would like to start a rotation of congregants to make the coffee for the Sunday coffee hour, set up, and clean up after. It is very easy – be at St. Nicholas between 9 and 9:30 am, make coffee, set out the cups, etc., set out the snacks provided by Jarosch, and then clean up after the coffee hour. If it is preferred, we could have one person set up and another clean up. If you are willing to help with this task, please notify Pat or Manny. If enough of you sign up, this task would only be required once every two or three months. Please let us know your thoughts.

Christmas Traditions Video Project Beginning November 4: Kids Of All Ages Can Appear

Collection of St Nicholas and Santa Claus figures from parishioners

In a little over a month, Advent begins and we will celebrate the Feast of St Nicholas. Soon after that, it’s Christmas!

The next two months are the most wonderful time of the year at St Nicholas Episcopal Church – there’s so much going on. Right now you have the opportunity to help spread the word about Christmas and St Nicholas.

You (and any family members) are invited to share your Christmas traditions with everyone in the St Nicholas Community in a video interview to be posted on the church website and online.

Beginning after church on November 4, anyone interested in this project should see Carol Payne after the 10am service to record a short interview.

No special skill is necessary! All you have to do is answer 2 easy questions:

  1. What are your Christmas traditions?
  2. What would you like for Christmas?

Anyone and everyone can be involved. The video will be posted on the church video page and online during Advent.
