At Fish Creek United Church, we believe in supporting families during the holiday season with compassion, dignity, and fairness. Our Christmas Hamper Program is now open for applications from October 1 through October 30.

-his program is not run on a first-come, first-serve basis. Instead, all applications will be carefully reviewed after the close date, and only selected families will be notified by email once the process is complete. Please note that notifications will not be sent out until after the selection period ends.

To apply, please ensure you:

Complete the form in full. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
Submit only one application per household. Duplicate submissions may disqualify your household from consideration.

We kindly remind all applicants that our staff and volunteers are here to help with kindness and fairness. Abuse of staff or volunteers will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Any mistreatment will result in permanent ineligibility from this and future programs.

Our goal is to create a caring and respectful process that allows us to serve as many families as possible during the holiday season. Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and patience as we carry out this important work.

If you or someone you know could benefit from the Christmas Hamper Program, we encourage you to apply before the deadline of October 30. Together, we can share hope and joy during this season of giving.

Bags, Blessings, and a Hot Dog Feast – September 7!

Shelley Spence — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 22:38:17 +0000

Summer may be winding down, but the excitement is just heating up at Fish Creek United Church! We’re thrilled to invite you to Welcome Back Sunday on September 7. It’s a special day to reconnect, celebrate, and start the new season together.

This isn’t just any Sunday—it’s our first service back after the summer! It’s also Communion Sunday, giving us a beautiful opportunity to gather around the table and remember the heart of our faith. Whether you’ve spent the summer traveling, relaxing, or exploring, this service is a chance to come together and renew your spirit.

One of the highlights of the morning is our annual Blessing of the Backpacks. Bring your backpack, briefcase, or even your laptop bag—whatever you carry through your daily journey—and receive a blessing to guide and protect you in the months ahead. It’s a meaningful tradition for students, parents, teachers, and anyone starting a new chapter.

After the service, stick around for our hot dog luncheon! (Gluten free options are available as always!) It’s a perfect chance to catch up with friends, meet new faces, and enjoy some casual fellowship over a delicious lunch. Whether you’re new to our church or a familiar face, everyone is welcome.

Mark your calendars and set your reminders—Welcome Back Sunday is a day you won’t want to miss. Come ready to celebrate, connect, and be part of our vibrant church community.

We can’t wait to see you, share stories from the summer, and step into a new season of faith, friendship, and fun together.
