THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 2 -

The church remembers Nicholas, Bishop of Myra (Good Ole  Saint Nick) on Thursday, December 6.

 

 

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.  Amen.
