EVENTS

All women are invited to Advent by Candlelight, an opportunity to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, Saturday, December 2 from 6:30-8:30 pm in the school gym. Doors will open at 6. While all table decor, tableware, drinks, etc will be provided, hostesses only need to bring a nativity for a centerpiece and Christmas treats for their table(s) of eight. Please register here by November 26.

I Still Believe in Christmas tells the parallel story of the wise men searching for the star and a modern-day journey filled with lost hope and despair. Sometimes it's when Jesus feels so far away He is actually closest. Intertwined with inspirational Christmas music from a full orchestra and drama scenes portrayed by St. John's members, performances will be held Friday, December 8 at 7 pm, Saturday, December 9 at 3 pm and 7 pm, and Sunday, December 10 at 10 am. Admission is free and no tickets are required.

Wreaths Across America is an organization that exists to remember and honor fallen veterans by coordinating yearly wreath-laying ceremonies at thousands of locations. All are invited to participate by sponsoring a $17 wreath to be placed on a veteran's grave at the St. John's Cemetery or Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. For each wreath, St. John's will receive $5. Proceeds will help fund the Military Care Package Ministry. To sponsor a wreath, please click here. Save the date! Along with the rest of the locations, St. John's will host an outdoor, wreath-laying ceremony on Saturday, December 16 at 11 am. All are invited to attend. Click here to volunteer.
