Children and Family Christmas Bazaar
The St. John's tradition returns this year with an updated time. We have changed the hours to 10:00am to 2:00pm. Our focus as always is the kids, but we want children and their adults to be able to shop as well.
Will there be cookies? Of course.
Caffeine for adults? You betcha.
Great prices? Of course.
Will volunteers be wrapping the gifts? Just like they do at Von Maur.
There will be people available to assist children and others if needed.
Bazaar Promo video.
Sign up to volunteer at the Bazaar. Volunteers needed to prep the day before, work day of or after the event clean up.

St. John's youth help fundraiser to cover expenses associated with camp by having a bake sale on Palm Sunday and receive donations from members on this day.
