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

Well, first off I should start by naming the things we DON’T have pictures of, but should have: the Ten Thousand Villages sale on October 18-19 and the Open House/Burning of the Mortgage on October 19 at 104 Woodside, which is Maria, Max, and Chloe’s home. To my knowledge, not one person present at either event had a camera. However, here are two (Before and After) snapped at Maria’s home on Saturday. Brian did a bang up job of getting Maria’s yard shipshape for the event!

The Sunday School Closet in the YAC is the hotspot/pigpen of the church. It’s a big chore to organize it, and over the past several weeks many people have helped to do a section. Here, Mary-Blair and Marcia go through many, many boxes to decide what must be kept legally and what is important for the archives committee. It was a huge job! Steve provided his beauty and brawn to the operation (he can reach the top shelf easily…). Many thanks to all the helpers/cleaners/organizers.

A few weeks ago, the older Godly Play class heard the story of the Ark and a Tent, where the People of God made the Tent of Meeting to house the Ark of the Covenant in the desert. This story – and several others that are models – are popular with those who like to build.

Some pictures are just too good to not use, even though they have no real connection to St. Philip’s. This is therefore a gratuitous bear picture in the E-pistle Corporate Office driveway:

While cleaning out the Sunday School Closet, we did find two church mice living there. To my knowledge, at least one (on the left) has been there since the closet was built many years ago. Apparently he (she?) has found a mate!
