FEBRUARY 7 SCOUT SUNDAY
The Hierarchs of SCOBA have designated
Sunday, February 7 as Scout Sunday to be observed in parishes throughout
all Orthodox jurisdictions. 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of
Scouting, and the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting [EOCS] has
prepared materials for our parishes to assist in their celebration.
Parishes are asked to support and recognize their youth engaged in
neighborhood units. To read the encyclical and review resources visit

New Kroger Community Rewards
Program!
On May 1, 2009, Kroger began their new Rewards Program that replaces their
Kroger Care program. The new program will be easier.
From
now on we will no longer have to replenish the Kroger cards that we received
when we joined the fundraising program.
The
church will now
simply receive credit as we use our Kroger rewards cards. These cards are
the ones that are scanned at the registers to receive the sale price
on selected items.
Parishioners are asked
to register their Kroger rewards cards online with our new organization
number at:
www.krogercommunityrewards.com
Then use the Kroger plus shopping card every
time you shop. That's it.
If you do not have a computer,
and need to
register please see Kate
for the alternate method of registration.
What an easy, no
hassle way for our church to earn money.
We hope that the entire parish participates.
Continual Food
Drive
Our Saint Nicholas Parish
has begun its Annual Food Drive to help those who are struggling in these
hard economic times.
Let us reach out
to those who need our help. We ask that you bring only non-perishable
food items and place them on the cart in the exo-narthex.
For I
was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in. . .
Matthew 25:35
