Behold the Man
The sacred season of Lent is once again upon us. The word Lent comes from a word that means “spring” and in a real sense, this time of preparation for Easter truly is a springtime for the soul.
Once again, we invite you to make this a most meaningful spiritual 40 day period in your life. How?
A Time for Meditation
At our special midweek Lenten services we pause to review all that our Saviour has done for us through His death and resurrection. We invite you to join us in spirit at the foot of the cross, and spend time each Wednesday endeavoring to understand more fully the blessings that are ours in Christ and their meaning for our lives today.
Our Lenten Theme: The Small Catechism
In his preface to the Small Catechism, Luther noted that he had been visiting parishes and was appalled by the lack of knowledge of Christian doctrine. That motivated him to prepare the Catechism. He says to the pastors: “I beg you all for God’s sake, my dear sirs and brethren, who are pastors or preachers, to devote yourselves heartily to your office [1 Timothy 4:13]. Have pity on the people who are entrusted to you [Acts 20:28] and help us teach the catechism to the people, and especially to the young.”
As we look at the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine, found in the Catechism, we will look to the truth of Scripture, and how these teachings point us to Christ.
Our services are held at 6:30 pm each Wednesday. We will have a rotation of pastors from around the congregations of our circuit. Services will also be streamed at

VBS 2026 – Jesus, Bread of Life
Free one-week Bible Camp for Children ages 4-11
at Foothills Lutheran Church (3104 – 34 Avenue NW Calgary)
July 21-25
8:50 am – 12:00 pm
All children aged 4 (by July 20th) to 11 (leaving grade 5) are invited to join us at Jesus, Bread of Life for a heavenly feast! Each day will focus on one Bible lesson where Jesus reveals Himself as the Bread of Life, who came to give life to the world. Children will be fed with God’s Word, sing thanks and praise for the gifts He gives us through Jesus, make crafts good enough to eat, and play exciting games with each other (but not with their food!) Please send a nutritious snack for your child to enjoy at our daily snack stops. (NO PEANUTS/NUTS PLEASE!)
New youth volunteers (leaving grade 6 and older) will participate in a special training program. In this class, they will spend part of the morning learning the Bible lesson and some volunteer skills; and the other part of the morning in a classroom or activity area, using the skills they have learned. Please mark VIT on the registration form after your child’s name for this program.
