During the Fall Fest we usually have a small garage sale made up of baked goods and home made items along with a small assortment of donations from the congregation. This is a great time to take in this beautiful area, mingle with the large crowds and of course St. John's opens its doors for tours of the church and the usual Sunday Service.

In December Ellicottville has what is know as the Christmas Stroll which has a old time sing of Christmas Carols at the town center gazebo and residents and tourist enjoy horse carriage rides around the town to see the sites. St. John's again opens its doors to visitors and their children. The children have the opportunity to do crafts and then ring Gabriel the third oldest bell in the United States. This is a time of year for family and St. Johns attempts to bring the joy of the season to our area.
