Seasoned Saints

This is a group of active adults regardless of age - or sainthood status - who love to get together and make new friends.

Christmas Party!

Date:   Saturday, December 10 - 5:30 pm
Place:  7126 N. 2nd Place, Phoenix
Bus:     For those not wanting to drive, a bus will leave                   the church parking lot at 4:45 pm (holds 50)
Bring:   Dessert or appetizer and beverage of your choice
RSVP:    Bulletin board outside church doors on Sunday                  or contact Barbara Ells.


Our past togethers:  Over the past 20 years we have gathered together – usually monthly during the “snowbird” season, for fellowship, fun, food and service. We have supported each other in many ways. Our social gatherings were either in the parish hall, homes, or other locations such as city parks, restaurants, or dinner theater. We also participated in cultural events as well as in service projects. We generally have a mix of evening and daytime activities. To read our history, go here.

Sign-ups for future gatherings:  Our group relies on one or two volunteers to plan the events. You get to choose the event and the date (subject to the church calendar).  Barbara will help with organizing, and Maxine will send out the email blasts and keep track of RSVP names. Mary Vanselow has agreed to host the Christmas Party on Dec. 10th at her home in Phoenix, (thank you Mary!) but all other months are available. Please contact Barbara if you can coordinate one of those months. 

Here is a delightful collection of photos from Seasoned Saints travels and family activities this summer. Thanks to all who contributed!
