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.
September
Friday At The Movies: Mister Rogers & Me
Friday, September 11th
at 2:00pm
in Room 50
The topic of discussion in September is Kindness. Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that acts of kindness significantly help people, both the recipients and the givers, and have a positive ripple effect on communities. Kindness doesn't stop with one act. Studies show recipients are 278% more likely to pass kindness on to others after experiencing it. That creates a chain reaction that benefits entire communities, fostering cooperation and resilience.
Mister Rogers & Me is a heartfelt documentary about 'Fred rogers' philosophy of living 'deep and simple' rather than 'shallow and complex.' The film was created by MTV producer Benjamin Wagner and his brother Christofer, after Benjamin met Mister Rogers while vacationing on Nantucket Island.
Come learn about the benefits of kindness and share how you have experienced in your life.
E-Waste Collection
Sunday, September 13th
Following Service
in the Celebration Center Parking Lot
Electronic waste is one of the greatest contaminants of our soil and water, leaching toxic heavy metals, flame retardants and more.
If the precious metals in these items can be recycled, we can save literally thousands of tons of ore from being mined for new electronics.
The St. Francis Green Team will be doing our part to address this, with a one-time collection of E-Waste.
Start rounding up your dead batteries, unused cables, any kind of electronic device working or not, and more! See a full list of items accepted below.
