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

Mary-Blair Valentine is the new Co-Treasurer, Payables for St. Philip’s – she replaces Thora Chilson, who served faithfully as a volunteer in that capacity for 7 years. Mary-Blair gives her own twist to her responsibilities; she doesn’t have office hours on a regular schedule in the Parish Office. Instead, she and her faithful employee Phil (her computer dedicated to St. Philip’s math and correspondence) do their work from home. You may easily reach them by phone or by their e-mail: philsbills@citcom.net.

Holy Week is a busy, busy time around St. Philip’s. On Palm Sunday, parishioners of all ages participated in the Holy Week Walk. Together, everyone walked from place to place around St. Philip’s: the entry into Jerusalem; the moneychangers at the Temple; the Upper Room, the Garden of Gethsemane, and many more.

Joan, our sexton, keeps everyone straight at St. Philip’s by physically straightening and cleaning and keeping all our spaces and places in order. You rarely can catch her sitting down, so this is an unusual picture!

During Holy Week, the office volunteers and Steve get a workout preparing and stuffing all the bulletins for the many services. However, these two (Ann and Steve) never lack a smile or a good joke as they work.

Our EYC members are learning something of Christian charity. Allison and Gillie give a helping hand to Katie H on the slopes during the EYC ski trip on February 10, and we finally have some of the pictures online! Click here to select the EYC Ski Trip in the St. Philip’s Photo Gallery.
