Got Chili? Or Possibly Got Too Much Chilly?

St Nicholas First Annual "Chilly" Supper March 5 at 6pm

Our first annual St. Nicholas Chili Supper will be held on Saturday, March 5^th, 2011 with the doors opening at 6pm.

If you like chili…this is the place to be! Good food, wonderful people…lively conversation and DOOR PRIZES, too.

What’s better on a cold, Saturday evening then a piping, hot bowl of chili, with onions and cheese? And door prizes, too. Can it get any better than that?

Yes it can…if YOU come and enjoy!

You get the idea…come on out, spend time with family and friends of St. Nicholas, fill up on chili and win a fabulous door prize.

All proceeds benefit St. Nicholas Church and the ministries of our congregation.

Prayers for the Bereaved

Posted on February 12, 2011 by ginny

Thinking of members of the St Nicholas community who have lost family and friends recently:

Grant, O Lord, to all who are bereaved the spirit of faith and courage, that they may have strength to meet the days to come with steadfastness and patience; not sorrowing as those without hope, but in thankful remembrance of your great goodness, and in the joyful expectation of eternal life with those they love. And this we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

-The Book of Common Prayer

Bishop’s Committee News: Going Forward

Posted on February 12, 2011 by ginny

The Bishop’s Committee met with Canon Warren yesterday and we found him to be very helpful and pleasant to work with. He and the Diocese want to meet our needs and want to work with us to determine and achieve our goals. Please be here next Sunday to discuss the transition process with Canon Warren. I think you will find him very helpful.

Marty O’Rourke has resigned as our general maintenance and cleaning person. He will be going to services at St. John’s with Mary Anne, which is understandable. A big thank you to Marty for all of the work he has done over the years for St. Nicholas. If you feel you can help with any one of the tasks, even occasionally, that were previously taken care of by Marty, please let one of the Bishop’s Committee members know.

Another big thank you goes to Douglas VanHouten for stepping up to the plate and taking over this weekly newsletter. As you can see, Douglas has given our newsletter a new look and there will be more changes coming to the newsletter in the near future. If you have suggestions for items you would like to see in the newsletter, please let either Douglas or me know.
