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
