St. John's Episcopal Church of Marietta will host a special visitor on Saturday, Dec. 14. Santa Claus will stop by for his annual visit from 8 to 10 a.m. at the church's pancake breakfast to greet guests and take "wish lists" from children.

Santa will also give out small gifts to each child under age 12. Mrs. Claus and an elf will help Santa hand out presents. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to take photos.

The pancake and sausage breakfast will also include juice, coffee, fruit and homemade goodies. There will be separate fees for adults and for children ages 5 to 11. Breakfast is free for children under age 5. 

The church is located at 239 E. Market St., Marietta. Breakfast will be served in the social hall at the rear of the church. 

Proceeds from the breakfast will be used to benefit the church's outreach programs. Call Nancy Kulman at 717-426-1229 for more information.
