Christmas Program
The annual Christmas program and dinner will be held on December 15 at 5 P.M. The remaining practice will be held at 9:30 A.M. on December 14 (with dress rehearsal). Please contact Jan Samson with any questions.

Poinsettias
If you would like to donate poinsettias for Christmas, please bring them in by December 22, the Fourth Sunday in Advent. Please leave a note with your flowers with the dedication and your name so we can print that in the Christmas Eve worship folder.

Prayer List
The prayer list will be refreshed on January 1. Please send an email to the church email at office@stjohnsirmo.org or place a note in the offering plate to keep someone on the list past January or to add someone else. Also include an address for the person you are asking us to pray for so we can send them a card letting them know we are praying for them.

Thank You Note from the Snyders
Our thanks to St. John’s for the gifts of food and fellowship. There are many kind and caring people at our church.
Jimmy and LaRue Synder
