Only a few left! Cards and Calendars featuring Quilt Show photographs, benefitting Outreach
December 15th is the last day to buy this year’s cards and calendars. The 2025 art calendar and card sets showcase some of the fantastic quilts that were on display last month at the hugely successful Quilt Exhibition. Purchase a calendar or set of twelve cards for $15, with proceeds benefitting the St. John’s outreach programs. These make great hostess gifts and stocking stuffers.
Monthly Labyrinth Walk and Taizé Service
Sunday January 5
The labyrinth will be set up in the parish hall at 4:30pm for anyone who would like to walk it. The serene candlelit Taizé service of prayer and music will follow at 5:30pm in the nave. People of all faith traditions are invited.
Mitten Tree is up!
At this time of year, we decorate our tree in the West Wing. It has become a tradition to decorate it with mittens, gloves, scarves, socks and hats for children.
We then take all the ‘ornaments’ to the Clackamas Children’s Commission on River Road where they will be distributed to their children to keep them warm during the cold Winter weather.
Our tree will be erected from the beginning of Advent until Twelfth Night. Let’s make this the best one yet !!!
