We are just a couple of days away from November and Christmas is quickly approaching. Our Annual Holly Tea and Bake Sale is always the first Saturday in December. This popular holiday event was started by the Anglican Church Women some 40 years ago and although the group is no longer active at St. John's (they disbanded just after COVID), the Holly Tea is still going strong.

We are looking for voluteers to help with this popular event. We need bakers to donate their goods and volunteers to help with the event. The sale is on the 5th of December from 2-4pm, but we need help with set up, pricing, packaging, money taking, etc. Please contact Ginny in the office and let her know what you enjoy doing. Let's make this the most successful Holly Tea and Bake Sale yet!

The cleanup up is Saturday, November 7 from 9 am till noon. Remember to dress warmly, as this is a rain or shine event, and bring your gloves, rakes, wheel barrels, gas leaf blowers, etc.

Parking is available in the church lot and along McQuillan Road located at the top of the cemetery. Refreshments will be provided.

Our bank is getting strict on how our cheques are made out. If you aren't already, could you please ensure that all cheques payable to the church are written out as follows:

We acknowledge with thanksgiving that we have gathered on the Unceded traditional territory of the K’òmoks First Nation. As a part of the Anglican Church of Canada, a church of Settlers and First Nations, we commit ourselves to a journey of truth and reconciliation between the Indigenous peoples of this land and the non-native peoples of Canada.
