Giving at Year-end, Consider the Possibilities We often express thanks to God by giving to others. As you
consider your charitable gifts before the end of the year,
remember that gifts made now could generate income tax
deductions that reduce your 2017 tax bill.
If you are behind on your building donations – now is great
time to catch up.
Thank you for your continued generosity.

O glorious Saint Nicholas, the noble preacher of
Christ, thou art a great and fervid helper of those
in difficulties, of those who are on land, and of
those who are at sea, all-compassionate, a
precious intercessor for those who are far off and
those who are near. Wherefore, in our gathering
we shout to thee to intercede with the Lord, that
we be delivered from every tribulation.
