Advent Insert:
The Angel Tree arrived filled with the names and ages of children who the House of Lazarus supports. Thank you to all who took an Angel. Age ranges from 4-18. Please put in bag or unwrapped with angel attached. These will be blessed and then delivered to House of Lazarus. Deadline for gift delivery back to the tree is Sunday November 29th.
Adopt-a-Family: 1 family of six, 1 family of two, 1 adult. What is Adopt a Family, you ask? It’s where St. John’s is matched with a family in need through the House of Lazarus, and we as a church community provide support for the Christmas holidays. Volunteers do the shopping and then deliver to HOL. Also, we are asked/encouraged to provide food support via gift cards to their selected grocery stores. No names or where they live are provided, to respect their privacy. Monetary donations marked “Adopt a Family” can be placed on the offering plate, dropped off during office hours or sent via e transfer. Deadline for contributions is Wednesday December 2nd.
White Gift Sunday will be held on December 6th. White Gift Sunday had its origins in a Methodist church in Ohio in 1904. Traditionally on this Sunday gifts are brought wrapped in white paper so that each gift is valued equally and it is the spirit of giving that is honored. White Gift Sunday at St. John’s is an opportunity to offer a non-perishable food item or a financial donation to the House of Lazarus.
