Walk with Santa
Do you like to sing Christmas Carols? Join Bashaw and District Support Services’ (BDSS) Walk with Santa.
Practices are on Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and 13 at Bashaw United Church. The Walk with Santa will be held closer to Christmas and the date is to-be-announced.
Angels Among Us
BDSS is inviting residents to create art with an angel theme. The idea was inspired by the angel wings painted by Kyle Simmers on the corner of the United Church.
Drop off your artwork to BDSS or send a digital version to risingspiritministry@gmail.com, or post to the Angels Among Us Facebook or Instagram pages, anytime after Dec. 1., with your contact information.
Entries will be put up on the Angels Among Us display near the front door of the United Church.
On Dec. 20, a draw will be held and four winners will receive a $25 gift card.
