Seasoned Saints

This is a group of active adults regardless of age - or sainthood status - who love to get together, eat and make new friends. If you would be willing to co-host any of the planned activities or future monthly events, please contact Maxine Walker.

Seasoned Saints to Provide Meal at East Valley Men's Shelter
Although we are unable to serve our annual meal at the men's shelter this year, we are still able to provide funding for the purchase and delivery of one. If you are interested in donating to this important mission at St. Anthony, you can either put a check with EVMC on the note line and put in collection plate or send to office or online here.

Reflections
This first issue of Reflections is filled with comments and pictures from our group as they are coping with the COVID pandemic. Click here to catch up with how and what everyone is doing.

Unlike our “in person” gatherings, there is no need to RSVP. Everyone will receive an email  from Maxine the Monday before the event and also the day of the event with the link and instructions on how to join the event.

Large groups will be broken into smaller groups by Zoom once we have all checked in so that you will have a chance to visit and catch up with each other and maybe meet someone new. At the end of our time we will all come back together. Not unlike our potlucks where we sit at tables and visit with a smaller group but also have time to socialize with all. We will attempt to mix the groups up each time we get together.

You can access Zoom with your computer, laptop, tablet or phone. You can also just phone in and join the conversation without video. If you haven’t used Zoom and would like some help or a test run, please email Barbara Ells or call.
