The Doll Knitters continue to be a beautiful expression of compassion and creativity within our church family. This past year has been one of meaningful milestones, faithful service, and God-given opportunities to bless children around the world. We are grateful for every woman who gives her time and skill to this ministry, and we celebrate how God has used their hands and hearts to share His love in tangible ways. This year has seen some changes in the leadership of the doll

I feel like I am repeating myself (read Sunday School & Youth ministry updates), but over the past number of months we have once again had many new young adults joining us at church on Sundays! It's been so encouraging to see how the Lord has been blessing us and answering our prayers in this way. It's been a busy semester for the young adult ministry so far between our regular Thursday meetings, preparing for Young Adult Sunday, and most recently going on our Young Adult ret

The landscape of our Wednesday nights is different than last semester, and so far this year we have a much younger group than we have in the past. But, in the midst of all the change, over the past number of months we have seen many more families with youth aged kids attending on Sund

Over the last few months our Sunday School ministry has once again grown significantly! We have seen another influx of families with kids, and that means that our Sunday School has been enjoying many new faces. As Sunday School families we were able to gather in Fish Creek for a hot dog roast as we started into the new semester, and the Teachers Strike in October provided an opportunity for some of our kids & youth to go bowling during what would usually be school time. Next

It has been another great year in the Nursery! The Lord continues to add to the nursery and bring new little ones for us to love, serve, and begin to nurture their spiritual growth.   For those that may not know, our nursery serves the youngest members of our church: from babies until they start kindergarten (once in kindergarten they enter into the Sunday School group).  A typical Sunday involves time for them to freely play with each other, sing Christian children's songs,

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring the possibility of using WhatsApp to help communicate with specific groups within South Calgary Community Church. We recently invited our members and attendees to complete a short survey, and we’re thankful for the 39 people who responded — thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Every month in our Church Update Email, we take a moment to celebrate one of the many volunteers who serve so faithfully at South Calgary. Our church is blessed with people who give their time and gifts so generously, and our ministry simply wouldn’t be the same without them. This month, we want to express our gratitude to Keith Vooys .
