Mobile Feet

Once a month we get out and let our feet do the talking

Mobile Feet

The Lantern Community Church is a group of people focused on growing as disciples of Jesus Christ while positively impacting the lives of residents in the communities of Inglewood, Ramsay and Calgary’s downtown East Village.

.

.

.

For the past six years, Lanternites have set aside one Sunday per month ( the first Sunday of every month) to suspend the traditional worship service for the purpose of serving at a variety of sites within the community.

The ground beneath our “Feet”:
The vision for Mobile Feet follows the incarnational model of theology in which people serve God through their daily activities and places of work, worship, recreation and in the home. Mobile Feet provides Lantern members the opportunity to corporately practice Jesus’ call to serve others by setting aside time to provide assistance to those in need through meeting physical needs and building relationships.

How it works:

Show up to the church at 10:00am on the first Sunday of the month for a devotional and announcement briefing before launching to a site with one of our captains. Following two hours of service, meet back at the church for lunch at 12:15.
