Living Tree Mural Project and St. John's Daily Brew CoffeeST. JOHN'S DAILY BREW COFFEE is now for sale after the 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Sunday services. It costs $10 a pound. 100% of the profits benefit the Living Tree Mural Project - a collaboration between St. John's, the South City Open Art Gallery, the African Mutual Assistance Association of Missouri, and other tenant organizations and community groups. The artistic coordinators of the first phase of the project - Lyndsey Scott, Jason Wallace Triefenbach, and Patrick Ritchey - helped at least one hundred kids and adults use their imaginations, clay, paper, sticks, and other materials to make the first phase of the Living Tree Mural Project a reality. Some of the pictures on this page are from the Living Tree Mural Project booth at the 2005 International Festival in Tower Grove Park. Lyndsey Scott iwas onamed one of ALIVE magazine's Buzz List in February 2006. Jason Wallace Treifenbach was one of three artists in the 2006 Great Rivers Biennial at St. Louis's Contemporary Art Museum. The Living Tree Mural Project serves as a public witness to St. John's many collaborations - both within the church walls and in Tower Grove South. This project has provided an opportunity for the members of the St. John's community, the staff and clients of our many tenant organizations, and members of the wider Tower Grove South community to interact and build relationships. Because the end result of the Living Tree Mural Project will be a mural behind a glass wall on a public, widely-used building on Arsenal Street (St. John's Parish Hall), it will be enjoyed and experienced by several hundred people every year for years to come, including the professional and amateur artists who created it. St. John's is more than a church - it is a community center, a safe place for all people to gather, and an architectural jewel of Tower Grove South. The Living Tree Mural Project helps continue St. John's evolution from a quiet, neighborhood parish into a thriving community center.
