Sociable Saints

Who We Are

The Sociable Saints are the age-fifty-and-over group of St. Michael’s Church.

What We Do

Sociable Saints conducts a diverse program of social and service, seeking to create fellowship by building new, and expanding existing, relationships within the St. Michael’s community, while together deepening our faith and serving Christ.

Why We Do It

Let love be genuine, hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection, outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.” Romans 12: 9-13

To participate, or for more information, please call Chairs Belinda and Eric Churchward (971 0566) or individual event coordinators.
