This Sunday, Dec. 10, St. Nicholas himself will make an appearance at St. Mark’s 10:00 liturgy – and if you leave shoes at the entry as you come into the church, you’ll find a treat afterwards (young and old alike!) – as we celebrate the beloved saint.
Almighty God, who in your love gave to your servant Nicholas of Myra a perpetual name for deeds of kindness on land and sea: Grant, we pray, that your Church may never cease to work for the happiness of children, the safety of sailors, the relief of the poor, and the help of those tossed by tempests of doubt or grief, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
