Special Events
There is always something meaningful happening at St. Francis in the Foothills.
Our special events are opportunities to gather beyond weekly worship—bringing people together through music, learning, service, and shared experiences. From concerts and guest speakers to community conversations, seasonal celebrations, and outreach events, each gathering offers a unique way to connect more deeply with one another and with the life of the church.
Whether you are new to St. Francis or have been part of the community for years, these events are designed to be welcoming, engaging, and accessible to all.
We invite you to explore what’s coming up and join us as we learn, grow, and celebrate together.

Guns To Gardens: Special Presentation
Presented By: Rev. Jenn Soule-Hill
Sunday, June 7th
11:00am
in the Celebration Center
Join us to learn how people of faith and conscience throughout the nation are transforming firearms into garden tolls and other works of art though the Guns to Garden movement.
Guns to Gardens bring diverse congregations together to join in sacred, practical, and symbolic action to prevent gun violence. Together we host community firearm surrender events, where we dismantle unwanted firearms with chop saws, rendering them unusable to enact further harm.

A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story

A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story is a documentary that chronicles the life of Elizabeth Anne Velåsquez, who was born with an extremely rare congenital disease known as Marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy syndrome. Her condition resulted in facial disfigurement that led to bullying throughout her childhood.
The film follows her journey from being a victim of cyberbullying to becoming a motivational speaker and anti-bullying activist. It highlights her emotional and physical struggles, her multi-million viewed TEDx talk, and her political advocacy for the first federal anti-bullying bill.
