For 6 months of the liturgical year we retrace the story of Jesus--from anticipating his arrival to celebrating his birth and ministry to making sense of his death, resurrection, and ascension. During the season after Pentecost, we ponder the question: If Jesus is the Christ, then who are we? We invite you to seek answers through the many spiritual, educational, musical, and ministry opportunities at St. Philip's.
If you know of someone who might like to receive these e-updates, feel free to use the "forward to a friend" link to share the newsletter with them! That doesn't add them to any lists but gives them the opportunity to choose to subscribe.
We hope this e-letter is a useful tool in connecting and staying connected with our St. Philip's community!

 Education for Ministry (EfM)
Are you looking to enrich your spiritual life and expand your understanding of the fundamentals of our faith? Would you like to be more deeply involved in lay ministry?

The Education for Ministry program (EfM) has helped more than 80,000 people like you deepen their knowledge and express their faith in their day-to- day lives. St. Philip's EfM program meets Tuesday evenings, Sept. 13 through May. Brochures are available in the back of the church, the newcomer station, and the parish office. Stop by our EfM table this summer during Sunday morning fellowship time and talk to EfM mentors Mary and Howell Herring and current EfM students at St. Philip's (Charles Bloeser, Wayne Fulton, Leslie Holmes, Connie Pickering Mimi Villafane).
