ST. NICHOLAS, COOKIE EXCHANGE AND MINI-BAZAAR
On Sunday, December 9, St. Nicholas will once again visit with our Church School children. In addition, we will have our annual Cookie Exchange and also the successful Christmas bazaar that was begun last year.
For our bakers, please bring two dozen cookies to share and containers will be provided for everyone to take your goodies home. If you don’t bake, no worries — there will be plenty to share.
Also, Sharon Albright will be selling her lovely quilted goods, Pamela Foley will have her award-winning photography cards for sale and Courtney Lewars will bring the scents of the season with her Scentsy collection.
A wonderful time of sharing and fellowship to highlight the holiday season!

Lay Eucharistic Ministry
We will try to reach all of our homebound parishioners with Christmas Communion before the end of December. We will not have this ministry in January and February because of inclement weather; however, if you would like Communion during that time, please call Kathy Burda and we will do our best to accommodate you.
