Things are ALWAYS happening around St. Philip’s. 


Here's just a sampling of some of what you might have missed.

Lent begins. In her Ash Wednesday sermon (click here to read it if you missed it), Maria describes a wall hanging in her office. For those that haven’t been able to drop by, here’s a photo:

The PhilippianPix Editor promises that there will be NO upsetting medical pictures in this installment. Instead, we submit a picture of a repaired Steve!

The Shop of St. Philip’s provides funding for ECW outreach and mission projects in the community, the diocese and the world, as well as several parish programs. It is staffed by more than 90 volunteers managed by a twelve member volunteer Shop Board and paid full time manager. Whoosh! They are a hard working, committed group. Have you visited the Shop lately? The Shop of St. Philip's End of Season Sale Week starts this Saturday, March 7 through the 14th. Here, Beth, Carol, and Lynne toil away (don’t let them fool you – they’re quite a social bunch, those volunteers!)

The Thursday Bible Study is open to anyone, but this week’s class welcomed a teeny tiny guest: Sparky, the baby squirrel. Jeanette is a wildlife rehab volunteer and frequently brings some of God’s creatures to church with her. Max got the unusual opportunity of holding Sparky.

This PhilippianPix page opened with abstract art from Maria’s office; the PhilippianPix Editor would like to end this episode in the photographic history of our parish by submitting abstract art of a different sort (taken during high school) – and by noting that today is the anniversary of this one’s birth. Not just ANY birthday, but the 21^st birthday! Be afraid. Be very afraid. (Note: any fondness for the subject of this picture is PURELY professional….)
