St. John's Homestead Ladies Aid provided the initiative for two enhancements for Advent/Christmas worship. Members of the congregation created more than 150 Chrismons for our Christmas tree. A description of each Chrismon and how it's symbolism pointed to Christ was available in each pew. On December 27, we observed St. John, Apostle and Evangelist Day, which was particularly meaningful for a St. Johns congregation. Marilyn Wichmann designed the banner which uses the eagle to represent St. John. "The eagle flies higher than any other bird, and the Gospel of St. John soars to heights greater than the other Gospels in its theology of Christ" (What an Altar Guild Should Know, Paul H.D. Lang).
