christmas Joy jamboree
Following the success of the first Christmas Joy Jamboree in 2024, we are excited to be back for the 2nd annual Jamboree on Sunday, December 14, 2025 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm at St. Joe's. Like last year, the afternoon begins in the Church with festive music, classic Christmas carols, and a short Christmas pageant performed by the younger parishioners from our community.
Afterward, continue the celebration at the Koenig Center with complimentary hot cocoa, warm cider, and treats. The Mothers With Young Children (MYC) Ministry will host their annual bake sale offering additional holiday goodies to bring home in support of their ministry.Families can stop by the photo booth for a classic Christmas picture - St. Nick may even make an appearance! The St. Joe’s Youth Group will also host crafts and activities for kids of all ages in the gym.
Interested in joining the festivities? See below for details! We are looking for volunteers to assist with the Koenig Center reception following the pageant. This is a great opportunity for teens in need of service hours. Click on the RSVP/Volunteer link below!
