Christmas at Menno Place: 2025 Events & Activities
It’s December! The season of Advent has begun and you’ll find Christmas all over the campus at Menno Place.
From trees and decorations brightening the halls to special chapel services, live music, holiday parties, Christmas movies, even a chance for the residents to get a photo with Santa here on campus, there’s something for the child in all of us.
- In Menno Hospital East 2 they’ll be doing Christmas baking.
- There’s a Christmas Tea happening in Terrace East
- Menno Home East 1 is making wreaths (with chocolate)
- The Pavilion is hosting a children’s Christmas piano recital
- Menno Hospital West 2 is going on a bus trip to see the Christmas lights
- Home East 2 is having a Christmas party
- Primrose Gardens is hosting a choir
And that’s just the beginning. As you’re putting together your Christmas plans you can find the holiday happenings for each area of campus in the monthly recreation calendars. The December calendars are up – you can find them through the link at the top of this website:
Residents can sign up for bus trips and other activities with the recreation staff in their area. In the apartments the Life Enrichment Associates are also available to help. If you have any questions about Christmas activities please don’t hesitate to reach out.
The chaplains have put together a full month of special chapel services each Tuesday in the month of December. Some weeks feature live music along with the chapel service. Families and friends are always welcome to join us for any of these services.
If you or your loved one is looking for a gentler space in the midst of the holiday season our annual Blue Christmas Service on December 16 offers a quiet, reflective space particularly well suited to those who may be lonely or grieving at this delicate time of year.
