St. Nicholas Market 2016

The giving spirit of St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, will be celebrated on St. Nicholas Day, Sunday, December 4 at All Saints-by-the-Sea!  All are welcome to participate in our annual St. Nicholas Market following both the 8:00 and 10:00 o’clock worship services.  Our campus will be transformed into a market place where everything we buy will support our growing ministries to children and youth.  What better way to give in the spirit of St. Nicholas than by donating to the market and then shopping there for those special gifts for your family and friends!  Our St. Nicholas Market will boast goodies to eat or to buy, silent auction gift items, fine arts for purchase, an array of gifts and crafts, greens and flora, fun for the children, and so much more.
Our worship and market place that day also present a wonderful opportunity for you to invite family and friends to join you at All Saints.

For general information, please contact Rev. Vicki Mouradian at vicki@asbts.org or (310) 625.7364.  For specific information, please see below.

The following COMMITTEE CHAIRS would be happy to answer your specific questions and accept your donations or your willingness to help:

BOOK TABLE – Kathy Deviny

Please part with beautiful new or pristine used books of the season: spiritual or inspirational stories, religious practices, holiday foods or décor, customs or sights from around the world, etc.  Please consider as well parting with general interest books: coffee table books, art books, special cookbooks, etc. that would make wonderful gifts for others. Please also consider donating pristine Music CD’s of the Season as well as DVD’s.  Please contact Kathie at kdeviny@msn.com.

LIVING GIFTS – Pamela Hawes

What would a St. Nicholas Market be without Fresh and Living Holiday Gifts?  Perhaps you are a source for greens, wreaths, succulents, orchids, poinsettias, and more? Or perhaps your financial donation would make supplying this category possible?  Some of our greens will be available for pre-order.
