Things are ALWAYS happening around St. Philip’s. 


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

What a difference six days make! On March 1, 2009, Maria was at Valle Crucis Conference Center for a clergy retreat and snapped this photo:

Exactly six days later, on March 7, 2009, five St. Philippian EYC members and one adult were at Valle Crucis enjoying warm spring weather – t-shirts and sandals weather! – at the Diocesan Youth Spring Conference.

St. Philippians are faithful. Every single Tuesday morning – rain or shine – Dan shows up to prepare the small communion kit. He and Ann faithfully take communion to residents at The Oaks every week.

The parish calendar states that there was a “computer meeting,” but the group likes to refer to itself as “The Geek Squad.” Normally much of the website and digital communications work happens in individual homes, but occasionally the Geeks relish the chance to work through new ideas face to face – or maybe, side to side while looking at the computer screen! Harry and Maria ponder ideas about the Parish Ministry Council and how to display its function and ministries on screen. You can see a preview (to be unveiled soon!) of the digital Minisphere on Jill’s computer.

Successful programs are 1% inspiration and 99% preparation! (My apologies to Thomas Alva Edison…) Early in the afternoon, Adele and Shawnee carefully tint icing for the Lenten program for children and youth on Wednesday night.
