Flower sign-up

The Flower Sign-Up List at the Parish Center would love to have your name on it -there are quite a number of Sundays still available. Just sign your name on that "special Sunday" that you would love to donate flowers to the church; the Parish Office will contact you to see what you would like written in the bulletin. SIGN-UP TODAY!

REMEMBER TO BRING IN YOUR USED INK CARTRIDGES

Carol Valentine reminds us to recycle our computer inkjets by bringing them to church; when she accumulates enough inkjets, she sends them in for recycling. Thus far this year St. Philip's has received about $90 in recycling benefits. Also note that we cannot recycle Epson ink cartridges or any others that do not have a print head.

EMERGENCY HOUSING CONSORTIUM - HEALTHBUILDERS

We are collecting new toiletry items for EHC weekly - perhaps you could start the commitment of getting at least one item for EHC when you go grocery shopping weekly and bring that item to church to put it in the basket in front of the altar. EHC requests new toiletry items, new socks for men, women, and children, and new underwear for men, women, and children. They do not want used clothing and they do not want toys. They will also accept money...you can write a check to St. Philip's earmarked "EHC" and when Carol Bower takes the items over to EHC, one check will be written to cover all the donations. All these items are given directly to the homeless people - they are not sold in a store. This is an easy way to help our less fortunate brothers and sisters - but we need to do it consistently - please help this ministry succeed.

The St. Philip's Crest

In his sermon for the Feast of St. Philip, Andrew Kille talked about the meaning of the official St. Philip's crest. A description of the crest and its meaning is now available on the website.
