On Monday, February 22, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at St. Philip's, Interfaith Community Services presents a workshop entitled "Speaking of Dying: Family Dynamics at the End of Life." In a culture scared to death of dying, how do we, as people of faith, engage with individuals and families in having life-giving conversations about dying? Join us for an inspiring forum that will include examples of family interactions in end-of-life situations, information on advance care planning, techniques and approaches to beneficial family dynamics in end-of-life situations, and table conversations to learn from each other. The cost is $10 and includes breakfast and materials. Click here to register.

Every four weeks on a Saturday, volunteers come together at St. Philip's to make sandwiches for the Casa Maria Soup Kitchen. We make 900 lunches, each with two sandwiches and a piece of fruit. We also send them soup makings for their soup vats, including chopped fresh vegetables, rice, potatoes, and canned vegetables. Please come join us in doing God's work in the world. The next date is  Saturday, February 27. Come join us at 7:30 a.m. in the East Gallery to help our neighbors in need.



For your spiritual journey during this Lenten season of prayer and reflection, St. Philip's offers a noontime Eucharist at 12:15 p.m. on Wednesdays during Lent.

At 6 p.m., the J2A youth and their parents host Lenten Soup Suppers in the Murphey Gallery. Hearty, homemade soups (including a vegetarian option each week), bread, salad and dessert ($7 person/$20 family). Why cook when you can support the J2A pilgrimage, share a Lenten tradition, and enjoy fellowship over a delicious bowl of homemade soup at the same time? Contact Mary Paul with questions or for more information (marypaul518@gmail.com).

At 6:45 p.m. in Room 10, the Rev. Canon Ted Holt invites you to explore sin, evil, and guilt as realities that have affected us all ever since the mythical days of Adam and Eve and that Slippery Serpent. Weaving Biblical, theological, and psychological ways of viewing the themes of sin, evil, and guilt, he will do so in a way that will likely be quite new to you, and along the way expand your understanding of how each functions (as well as malfunctions) in your life and the lives of those around you.

The evening will conclude with a brief Devotion for the Close of Day.

Healthy Snacks (fruit, cheese, whole grain breads, low calorie muffins, gluten or peanut free snacks, etc.); 3. "Kid Friendly Snacks."
