Have you ever thought about joining the choir? Now is a good time to give it a try. We are going to begin rehearsing for our Advent and Christmas seasons. Think about giving the choir a try for Advent and Christmas and if you don’t like it, hey, at least you gave it a shot. But… we are sure you are going to really like singing with us. We rehearse on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the choir room. See you there !?!

Approximately 100 guests are served a hot meal every month. St. Philip’s provides the all the food including the entree, side dishes, desserts and beverages. Your donations towards the cost are always welcome as well as providing desserts — homemade or store bought.

For the Thanksgiving Dinner on November 30 there is a special call for fruit salads and pies.

Fall 2024 Theme: Claiming Identity This fall, our Bible lessons follow the theme “Claiming Identity.” They unpack and explore the concept of identity by examining the life and experiences of Esther, the factors that shape our identity, and how we find and claim our identity in Christ.

Plan ahead to stay after the 10:30 service on Sunday, December 22nd to help put up the Christmas greens for our Christmas Eve services.

The St. Philip’s Vestry recently formed a new committee for pastoral care and Jane Ann Bramlett has graciously agreed to chair the committee. During this transition time, the vestry felt it was critical to pay close attention to the needs of our parishioners. If you or someone else in the parish is struggling, is in the hospital, or has a pastoral need, please call the parish office. To avoid Jane Ann getting too many calls or text messages at work, we ask that you call the parish office before calling Jane Ann directly.
