St. Mark's realized that many youth today do not know the tru meaning of Christmas. So in 2010 St. Mark's started the Feast of St. Nicholas Event. During the Feast of St. Nicholas we invite the youth of the church the children from the community and from our adopt-a-child program to St. Mark's for an afternoon. During the afternoon the children make Christmas gifts for their family, play games, have a snack and hear stories about St. Nicholas and the birth of Jesus Christ.
