Event: First Mennonite Church Invitation:
Over at Calgary First we are trying something new – we are having a Fall Fair!! It will be September 29th from noon until 3pm.
There will be games, run by the First / Foothills combo youth group, balloon animals, treats, a bounce castle, tea and coffee and hopefully wonderful fellowship! We are holding the event as a community outreach to hopefully get to meet some of our neighbors, but we of course want to extend the invitation to attend to our family in Christ also! Hope to see you there!
Event: Christmas Choir Invitation:
You are all invited to sing in the Foothills Christmas Choir this year, whether this is something new for you, or whether you have sung in choirs before. Thankfully they now have a pianist and so rehearsals can get underway, starting this Thursday, October 3 at 7:30pm. The program will be at Foothills on Sunday, December 15th at 6:30pm. You are welcome to email office@foothillsmennonite.ca or call 403-289-7172 if you have any questions.
Events Held Annually
Sunday School Picnic
This is a tradition which marks the end of the instruction year in June, and is celebrated by the entire church. Father’s Day is a favourite Sunday to have the picnic.
Gathering Sunday & Annual Corn Boil
This event is conducted at the beginning of a new season for all of our programs. During this event, we pray for our leaders who will be going into a new season and send them off with a blessing. Following the service, we enjoy a boiled-corn lunch that includes corn, butter, watermelon, roll kuchen, and desserts. This creates an opportunity for a tasty meal, wonderful fellowship, and a time of fun.
Christmas Banquet
Christmas banquets takes place on one of the earlier Saturdays in December. During this time we dress up, enjoy a great Christmas dinner, sing carols, and usually enjoy some form of entertainment in the evening.
