What's New!!!
7th Annual Glove and Thermal Sock Drive:
From now until Thanksgiving we are collecting new gloves, mittens, and thermal (i.e. warm) socks, to donate to the McWarm shelter at St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in St. Clair Shores. If you are able to bring in any of these items to donate, please place them in the box that has been set up in the vestibule. Thank you for your generosity!!!
3rd Annual St. Nicholas Parish Day Raffle (Drawing- December 7th):
We only have 4 weeks to go until our drawing, so please continue your efforts to sell tickets, and turn in your money and ticket stubs when you are able. As a reminder, tickets cost $10/each, and the drawing will take place at our annual St. Nicholas Parish Day Dinner on Sunday, December 7th. There will be multiple winners and a top prize of $2,000. We are asking all parishioners to volunteer to sell at least 10 tickets between now and December 7th. If you have not yet received your packet of 10 serialized tickets, or if you need more, please pick up your tickets today from Joanne Mozuras, John P. Minarish, or George Nagrant, and start selling to your friends, relatives, and neighbors! As an added incentive, we will award a prize to the parishioner that sells the most tickets, and also a prize to the parishioner that sells the ticket that wins the grand prize. If you have any questions, please contact Joanne, John, or George. Money and ticket stubs can be returned to the parish office at any time, up until the date of the drawing
Giving Tree: A Giving Tree has been set up in the vestibule. You can help a child in need by bringing a new, unwrapped gift to be donated. Suggested items are on the “tags” on the tree. Take a tag home and bring in that item, unwrapped. Or, bring in any new gift that a child would like. If you have a limited budget, we highly encourage you to look up the approximate cost of a tagged item using your phone, before taking the tag home with you and potentially being surprised later. Items on the Christmas Tree-shaped tags need to be brought in no later than Sunday, December 7th.

St. Nicholas Day Celebration
Divine Liturgy 10:30am
​
In the beginning
God created heaven and earth.
Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
God said, 'Let there be light,'
and there was light.
God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
God called light 'day',
and darkness he called 'night'.
Evening came and
morning came: the first day.
Genesis 1: 1 - 5
