Sunday Club
A full list of dates when Sunday Club is meeting (and when it's not) is now on the Sunday Club notice board in the entrance of the church.
Six@Nick's - Sunday 5th February
'Early Church; First Converts; Inclusion' The speaker will be the Revd Tim Meadows. Tim is a minister in the United Reformed Church working as an evangelist in Liverpool City Centre. From the evangelical tradition of the southern states of the USA, he takes the Bible very seriously, but he is also passionate about the Church being open to all people, whatever their gender, sexuality or ethnicity.
Walsingham
Advance notice of a joint pilgrimage with St John's Tuebrook, 28th-31st August 2012.
Talents Scheme
Re-enactment of the Parable of the Talents: for those who are willing, St Nick's will be giving out £20 notes this week to people to take and use creatively, perhaps running and event or washing cars or getting busy in the kitchen, that will multiply the pennies. We will receive the proceeds on Sunday 27th May. All proceeds will go towards the new boiler.
PC Petrified!
As part of the talents scheme, Matthew is running two (hopefully entertaining) workshops:
Saturday 10th March (11.00 am - 1 pm): computer basics and using MS Office (Word, Excel etc.)
Thursday 22nd March (6.30 pm - 8.30 pm): the internet.
Presentations with some discussion. Topics chosen by the group (please don't bering your computer). Do invite a neighbour or a friend. Maximum group size is 10 so get your name down (and donation of £10 per session for the boiler appeal).
Is God Calling You to Reader Ministry?
Reader taster evenings coming up to explore this exciting and diverse vocation:
Monday 13th February at 7.30 pm (St James' House, next to the Cathedral)
Friday 24th February at 7.30 pm (Christ Church, Waterloo, L22 1RJ)
Gift Aid
St Nick's is grateful for all donations, but if you are a UK taxpayer and you put your gift in one of our Gift Aid envelopes (found at the back of the Church) and add your name and address, then the Church can get a further 25% of your gift back from the Government.
Similarly, if you make donations to the Church by monthly standing order, and you are a UK taxpayer but have not yet completed a Gift Aid form and sent it to Caroline Blower, our Treasurer, then we would be most grateful if you would do this so that we can increase the value of your monthly donation by 25% at no cost or inconvenience to you. Your name/details do not get passed to anybody and there is nothing further for you to do.
