OUTREACH PROJECT: BACKPACKS FOR JUBILEE | MAR. 3 March 3 | 12:15 - 1:30 p.m. | Youth Center We invite all CFM families to join us as for a service project benefiting the children of the Jubilee Community.

Many of the children of Jubilee eat their meals at school and may not have snacks at home during school vacations.

To help with this, we are creating snack bags that the children are able to take home with them during spring break. Donations of individually-wrapped, healthy snacks and drinks–such as chewy and crunchy granola bars, fruit cups, pretzels and popcorn–are needed. Donations can be brought to the offices in the Youth Center. All CFM families are invited to join us on March 3 to help pack the snack bags. Please contact Regan Wallace, rwallace@saintmichael.org, with any questions.

ENNEAGRAM REUNION CLASS | FEB. 19, 25 Once a Month | Mary Ann Webster | Coke Room Mondays - 6:30 - 8 p.m. | Tuesdays - 1 - 2:30 p.m.

The 120+ graduates of the 12-week course on the Enneagram will now have the opportunity to come together to share their experiences of living in the world.

These gatherings will be offered monthly both in the daytime and evenings through May. We will build on the knowledge gained earlier by discussing in greater depth what it means to be in the heart, head, or gut triad.

We’ll also look at how we are progressing in dealing with “security” and “stress” numbers–and so much more! For additional information on this Reunion Class or to learn more about how to take the course, contact Mary Ann Webster at maryannwebster@gmail.com.

MEALS ON WHEELS Please join the SMAA Meals on Wheels volunteer team– we need you! By delivering meals you bring both nutritious food, and a friendly visit to 8-10 seniors and people in our community. Volunteer drivers make a huge impact in a short amount of time! Monthly and weekly routes are available. Contact Janie Richard, at janie.lewis@sbcglobal.net for more information.
