ROBE SPONSORSHIP UPDATE  We are now over halfway towards our fundraising goal of $9,000 for new choir robes. Much thanks to our contributors of the past month!   

Each year, our choir continues to develop in sound and spirit.  We are one of the hardest working ministries here at St. John's, rehearsing every Wednesday evening and enhancing the 9:30 a.m. liturgy every weekend.     

  $   180 = one robe
  $   540 = three robes
  $1,080 = six robes
  $4,500 = 25 robes (our remaining goal)

Support your local choir!  Sponsor a robe, even partially.  No donation is too small or too big.
