NEW DENMARK LUTHERAN CHURCHES
Each year, St. Peter’s and Bethany Lutheran Churches host a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program that attracts children from New Denmark and our surrounding communities. At this week long event, children are given opportunities to participate in a fun array of games, singing, story-time, crafts, snacks, and live-theatre. For many of those who attend, VBS leaves a lasting imprint of positive memories that help shape the choices that children make and the people that they become. On many occasions, parents inform us that their children are singing VBS songs and reflecting on what they have learned months after the program has ended. From decorating the New Denmark Rec. Centre in an awe-inspiring fashion, to ensuring that every child has a positive and uplifting experience, we take great pride in hosting this annual event!
The dates for VBS 2024 are July 15-19 at the New Denmark Rec. Centre. Closing ceremony will be held on July 21 at 11:00 am. All are welcome!
On Thursday evenings, from September through May, our congregations host a fun-filled children's ministry program called "Kids Klub." Children ages 4+ are welcome to take part in this night filled with singing, dancing, bible stories, crafts, snacks, and games! For more information, feel free to reach out to Pastor Jonah.
Each Sunday, our congregations gather for Christian worship. Holy Communion is celebrated on a bi-weekly basis. All are welcome to attend! For a schedule of times and locations click below.
Once a year, our congregations work in conjunction with community organizations, businesses, and churches to create "welcome baskets" for new members of our community. If you are new to our area (or know of anyone who is new), please let us know using the button below!
As the season of Christmas draws near, our congregations take great pride in baking, packaging, and delivering cookies to elderly, sick, shut-in, lonely, and bereaved people in our community. This ministry strives to provide joy and comfort during the Christmas season. If you know of anyone who might benefit from this Christmas ministry, please let us know!
Once a year, our congregations travel around the community singing Christmas carols! The date for this fun-filled adventure changes every year, so please keep an eye on our parish calendar.
Both singers and non-singers are welcome to come join us!
In December, St. Peter's and Bethany Lutheran Churches host a community Christmas party with snacks, carols, games, and a Christmas bake sale. For details on the date and location, see the calendar button below.
