Things are ALWAYS happening around St. Philip’s. 


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

From time to time we have shown pictures of some of the treasures with which Maria decorates her office. One memento is a pot overflowing with warm fuzzies…

At the recent MidBEGINNINGdle retreat (Beginning in the Middle) for diocesan middle school youth, Maria wore a warm fuzzy stole during the Eucharist! (A photo album of pictures from the retreat should be ready by next week…)

The PhilippianPix editor has been running willy nilly doing all sorts of other St. Philippian tasks, so she has a backlog of photos from past events. On the first day of school (August 25), Steve cooked a humdinger of a breakfast for ALL schoolchildren and their families. He and his helpers (Beth and Jan) served a hot breakfast continuously to the 48 children and adults from 6:30 – 8:00 a.m. Here’s the early crowd first thing at 6:30 a.m.!

The place quickly filled up as the morning progressed:

It was great to have service with a smile so early in the morning! Hot eggs – yum!

Even at that early hour, there were many smiling faces! Here’s a few…

The PhilippianPix continues to chronicle the sprucing up of the parish office. After the window project was completed, Jeanne and her minions moved everything around to create better flow in the office. Here Ann, Steve, and Brian show of the new volunteer desk!

The old office configuration resembled a maze at times. Here’s the more streamlined arrangement.

The St. Philip’s Dulcimer Choir has resumed practice. Last Friday they stole into the quiet chapel for some rehearsal time for their upcoming October 11th contribution to the 9 a.m. service.
