The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

Giving Tree 2020

Once again, the members of St. John’s have demonstrated their heartfelt generosity to the communities in Grand County. Mountain Family Center provided us with seven families and 21 children for our Giving Tree. We have provided gifts of warm clothing, boots, socks, blankets, and toys along with gift cards to City Market for a Christmas meal. Each family was also provided a handmade quilt and handmade masks, donated by various quilting and sewing groups throughout Colorado, and made specifically for the people of Grand County. Even though we were not able to come together for a “wrapping event” the love and generosity of our members can, hopefully, be experienced by seeing the picture of our gifts around the Christmas tree. Thank you to everyone for your monetary donations and prayers for the success of this effort.

Blessings,

Elaine and Judy

Where are Mary and Joseph?

When I served parishes with schools in Texas, we would build the anticipation and expectation of the season by slowly adding the figures to our nativity scenes as we walked though Advent. Mary and Joseph (and donkey too) would travel around the sanctuary until they arrived at the stable just before Christmas. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates as to Mary and Joseph’s journey around Grand County (you can click the social media icons at the bottom of this email).
