New Socks for New Friends

At St. Nicholas, we wish to assist and care for our less fortunate sisters and brothers by supplying clean (preferably new) socks.  These socks will be shared with the local PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) sites throughout the Village. Socks will be collected throughout the months of November and December in the gathering space at church.  Your generosity will aid our new friends and will keep them blessedly warmer and more comfortable.

Several years ago now at St Nicholas, a beloved parishioner named Carmen McCall passed away. She was famous for her colorful socks, and so every year at this time I like to re-use this photo of her “Lovely and Amazing” socks to illustrate our annual drive to collect warm socks for those who need them.

Flourish In Faith Tree

Our sincere thanks to all who have turned in 2014 pledge cards thus far. Please know that pledge cards may still be turned in. All cards, along with the bread and wine will be processed in at the weekend Liturgies as a sign of thanksgiving and appreciation.

We are mindful and most considerate that not all are able to financially support our church and we appreciate the sacrifices that are made by so many.

There are others ways to support St. Nicholas: the Giving Tree, helping out by hosting Coffee Hour on Sundays, baking communion bread for our weekend Liturgies; pitching in to help keep the church/hall clean and orderly, helping with Children’s Formation, preaching, lecturing , joining the choir, sharing in Bible Study, joining the Book Club, helping with the Food Pantry on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month…so many opportunities to help grow our church.

And know how grateful and sincerely thankful I am for the kindness, generosity and faithfulness shared by so many on behalf of this, our
Community of St. Nicholas.

God bless, one and all.

We say goodbye to the Sundays after Pentecost, (Ordinary Time) and welcome to the holy season of Advent.
Advent Wreath with Blue Advent Banners
In order to celebrate this time of year properly, we have to get the church in order. So, this Friday night, Nov. 29th, we invite one and all to come on by and help with the decorating.

We will gather around 6pm and get all the green banners down and put up the blue banners and curtains; drain the baptismal font, set up the St. Nicholas Table and put up a few decorations in Holy Innocents Hall for our Support Groups to enjoy.

Pizza will be provided and if you’d like to bring some beverage of “cheer,” feel free to do so! All are welcome.

Thanks in advance and God bless one and all.
