The St. Nicholas Day Market will offer gifts from All Saints’ partners in African Ministries, Friends of Jerusalem, and more. Spend some time browsing for holiday gifts and say hello to special guest St. Nicholas himself! What better way to give in the spirit of St. Nicholas than by shopping at the market to help provide for those most in need?
