The Feast of St. Nicholas, December 6th was a wonderful evening of fellowship.  We began with a fund raising supper for our two High School missionaries for thier ministry in the Dominican Republic this summer.

After supper we had a special guest, the Bishop of Myra, St. Nicholas himself was with us for the blessing of the manger outside the church.  He stayed for awhile offering gold coins to all.  The Bishop was very busy that night so he was on his way.  Latter the story of St. Nicholas was shared with all and the young had some arts and crafts.
