Friday at the Movies: Transformations
Friday, February 13th
at 2:00pm

A change of scenery can have a profound impact on your mental wellbeing and sometimes even change our lives. Traveling pushes you out of your comfort zone, which can lead to significant personal growth.
Enchanted April is a British drama directed by Mike Newell and adapted from Elizabeth von Arnim’s 1922 novel The Enchanted April. It was shot on location in Portofino, Italy and stars Miranda Richardson, Josie Lawrence, Polly Walker and Joan Plowright. It is about four English women that leave home to find themselves. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, and Richardson and Plowright won Golden Globes for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
Have you ever taken a trip somewhere that changed you in significant ways? What does science tell us about this subject? We will explore the topic and discuss after the film.

Popup Multigenerational Sunday School: The Saint John’s Bible invites our community into the story of scripture through art, imagination, and ancient tradition brought to life in a modern way. Through a short film, we’ll encounter the Bible not only as text, but as a living work of beauty, creativity, and devotion.
Gathering across generations, we’ll reflect on how stories are shaped, illuminated, and passed on, and how sacred words can be experienced through color, symbol, and human hands. Children, youth, and adults are all welcome to join this shared moment of wonder and conversation, where faith, art, and storytelling meet in unexpected ways.
Wonderful Wednesday Potluck
Wednesday, February 25th
at 5:00pm
in the Community Center
Wonderful Wednesday is a midweek potluck designed to be easy, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable. It’s a chance to sit down with others, share a meal, and catch up without a program, agenda, or expectation that you bring anything more than yourself.
As we begin 2026, this gathering is about reconnecting—meeting new faces, strengthening familiar friendships, and creating space for conversation that doesn’t feel rushed. Bring a dish if you’d like, or just come and join the table.
Whether you’ve been part of Saint Francis for years, are new to the community, or are simply looking for a relaxed way to connect midweek, The Wonderful Wednesday Potluck is an open invitation to gather and share life together.
