The festive season is well and truly underway at St. John Church. Sunday December 7, following the Divine Liturgy and a warm bevereage, our youth decorated the Christmas tree with handmade ornaments, while parents and parishioners helped decorate the hall with garlands and lights.  St. John was ready for Christmas with the sound of Christmas music and the lighting of the tree and our beautifully decorated hall. Our Christmas tree was generously donated by Cecelia Baloian.

The following Sunday, which was the second Sunday of the month, was a family day at St. John. Sunday School Students along with their parents attended church and participated in the Divine Liturgy.  Fr. Mesrop Ash delivered a special message for the children about Christmas.

Following church services, the congregation gathered in the Paul Family Hall for the Annual Christmas Party organized by Parish Council. After a delicious meal and desserts, the congregation enjoyed the talented solo and ensemble performances by Sunday School Students, and the visit by Santa Clause.

We thank all the parents, Sunday School Students, and the staff, and all the volunteers who made this event successful.
