My Saint Michael’s Story: Nicole Purchase

How does Saint Michael’s express care, concern and love for you?

Since coming to Saint Michael’s, I see it as a family outside of my own family that welcomes you with open arms. This was the most evident during the peak of COVID when we had our small buddy groups and you had that opportunity to talk with those you’ve known since joining the congregation or those you’re meeting for the first time. This has also resulted in my daughter Zoey making her first friend in our church nursery.

How have you done it for others?

When COVID hit and the small buddy groups were established, sharing photos of how we have progressed is one thing I have done. Despite the debates it’s created, Facebook has been another handy way to stay connected with my Saint Michael’s family.
