Exploring Membership at St.Francis
Saturday, January 24th
at 9:00am
in Room 50
This class invites participants into a meaningful conversation about what it means to belong at Saint Francis in the Foothills UMC. It is a time to share stories, listen deeply, and learn how individual spiritual journeys intersect with the life of this church community.
Together, we will explore the history, mission, and ministries of Saint Francis, while creating space for questions, reflection, and honest dialogue. The class offers an opportunity to understand not only how the church is organized, but why it exists, what it values, and how it seeks to live out faith in the world.
This class is open to everyone—those considering membership, long-time members wanting a refresher, and anyone who is curious about Saint Francis and its vision. Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome to join the conversation and discover how your story might connect with this community. We Hope you will join us!

Wonderful Wednesday Potluck
Wednesday, January 28th
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.
Friday at the Movies: Transformations

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.
