St. John's Family Christmas Tree

The St. John's Family Christmas Tree is back! A tradition that started in the 1990's,  this practice has evolved to covering the biggest Christmas tree in the sanctuary with card-ornaments. Each card-ornament holds the names of parish members, their families, friends, pets - anyone who is part of the St. John's family! Star-ornaments hold the names of parishioners and loved ones who have died, while the other ornaments are for the living. 

So much love goes into the Family Christmas Tree! We invite you all to write your name, and your loved ones too, on a card-ornament for the tree. Write the names of loved-ones-lost on a star-ornament, too. Ornaments can be found near the Welcome Table every Sunday. We start fresh every year, so if you did this last year, please do it again! The ornaments change, but the love never does!

Can't make it to church in person? Email Donna at the office and she will ensure your names get on the appropriate card-ornament or star-ornament. stjohnnv@telus.net
