New Year’s Eve at St Nicholas: Labyrinth Walk

Your church will be busy, busy on New Year’s Eve!

Usually one of the most uneventful nights of the year at St. Nicholas, this New Year’s Eve is going to be different. Thanks to our expanded space, the Little Bulgarian School will be hosting their New Year’s Eve Party for the first time at St. Nicholas.

We are going to add to the festivities with an evening Labyrinth Walk from 7 p.m. to midnight. What a beautiful way to center oneself, as 2010 comes to an end and the vista of 2011 opens before us.

Light refreshments will be available — although of course the night will be alcohol-free, except for communion wine, although juice is ALWAYS consecrated for any who would partake. We will close our New Year’s Eve celebration with a short contemplative and ecumenical celebration of the Eucharist. We are planning to invite our neighbor churches to join us. Don’t be shy about inviting friends!

Celebrate St Nicholas’ Special Day December 6: Be Like Nick!

After celebrating the Feast of St. Nicholas in grand fashion on Sunday, December 5, we’ll be going out into the neighborhood to ask our neighbors to “be like Nick” by contributing Christmas presents for children of our Food Pantry and Clearmont School.

We know “bagging” is not a favorite occupation of many, but ask you to remember that the work we do that day directly affects children’s lives.

We also ask you to “be like Nick” and contribute presents and money for gift cards — in addition to walking the streets December 5.

Thank you for your good spirits and hearts!
