Things are ALWAYS happening around St. Philip’s. 
Here's just a sampling of some of what you might have missed.

“Just up a little more…no, too high….no, up a little more…THERE!” In our ivory tower, it is difficult for the wireless to reach most of our buildings (at least the parts where people will need laptops!). Our fearless Computer Systems Manager Dave H and Buildings Committee Chairman Ernie S find the perfect spot – on a ladder, then on a box sideways, then a Kleenex box…. They’ll mark the spot and mount it professionally.

It was a busy day on Saturday! Outside, swarms of men and boys led by Christian R work on refurbishing the playground. Christian has taken on this project as a requirement for Eagle Scout. You may notice that the play doesn’t look particularly safe: please caution children (of all ages) that the playground is CLOSED until further notice!

In Godly Play classes on Sunday, the children take advantage of a work period after hearing the story. “Work” is a good Montessori term which describes the way that the children are allowed to enter into the story in their own way. Kathleen E uses the watercolors, and Chloe H and Ellie R go back to the Bible to read the story first hand.

And, a shot from the PhilippianPix corporate office: our newly adopted kitten Milo has learned that chasing the “mouse” on my computer screen is a fun thing to do. Any mistakes and editorial marks should be considered his fault from here on out…he DOES make it a tad difficult to see the screen!

(For those of you reading this outside of Transylvania County, the blinding white outside my office window is the snow, not melting as quickly as in town!)
