"Mingles" - "M"arried s"INGLES"

Who We Are

A dictionary search of the word, "mingle" includes meanings such as, "to mix or bring together in combination, usually without loss of individual characteristics," as well as, "to get involved or mixed-up with." At St. Michael's it is also now a word that names a new fellowship group to bring together in combination both Married and sINGLE adults. Although intentionally aimed at the maturing baby boomer generation, (or Aging Hipsters, as some Sociologists have identified) this group is open to all. Borrowing from the parish mission statement that begins with being Called to Community, the Mingles is a group that allows for Christian fellowship and fun through a variety of periodic events and festivities where folks can get involved and mixed-up with one another in ways that will build community. It is not replacing any existing groups such as, The Gate, Michaelites in Motion, or the Sociable Saints, but rather it adds to the mix of available opportunities with an intentional focus on young-at-heart mature folk.
