Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:25-26; 31
From the beginning, the Ladies Altar Society was established to provide the appropriate linens, flowers, and other liturgical objects to beautify the altar and assist the priest. Over the many decades since its inception, the Altar Society has expanded responsibilities in many different directions but always connected by our dedication to promote fellowship among the membership and to make possible fuller participation in the spiritual and social activities of St. Nicholas Church. We have many hands to help wherever needed.
The Altar Society consists of a team of dedicated, and ageless workers. No church is ever complete without the Tender Loving Care of its mothers and sisters. Who better suited to make sure there is a hot cup of coffee/tea (and food) waiting for the parishoner’s after services? What better way to encourage socialization and family bonding time? Who else to find ways to beautify the church and fund the effort as well? In addition, there are many behind the scenes functions such as altar cloth changes as well as maintenance of our priest's vestments and the altar boy’s robes.
Fund raisers are just that-FUN! Our Flea Market team is amazing. With over 16 tables of treasures, our Lower East Side neighbors are always coming back for more. The Cookie Walk is held the 2nd weekend of December. Home baked goods from snickerdoodles to adorable Christmas Church Mice confections are available. Over fifty different varieties. Thousands and thousands of cookies are fresh baked and ready for eating. Just purchase a box and start filling it to the brim. You need to see it to believe it!
