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!

St. Nicholas and Schola Choirs Depart for Worcester Cathedral St. Philip's St. Nicholas Choir with Schola adults will be serving as the Choir in Residence at Worcester Cathedral, beginning next Monday, July 18. The Choir Residency is a strong sign of sharing our gifts on a global level, and is an amazing opportunity for growth for singers, especially our youth. The St. Nicholas Choir will be responsible for singing the treble part for all these services with adults singing other voice parts. To see a schedule of services, go to the Worcester Cathedral site, and under "worship" click on "monthly service scheme" for July and then scroll down to July 18.
Arguably the most interesting of England's cathedrals, Worcester Cathedral, or The Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of Worcester, as it is officially called, lies at the heart of Worcestershire and symbolizes every period of English architecture between Norman and Perpendicular Gothic. As such, Worcester is the ideal setting for children and youth of St. Philip's to join the ancient continuum of Anglican worship and of singing daily Evensong. The Cathedral itself dates from the 11th Century, before which time a priory was built on the same site a scant two centuries after the fall of the Roman empire. Records also show that as far back as 1394, resident choristers were active at Worcester.
After each morning's rehearsal, our travelers will take excursions in the area. The St. Philip's contingent will consist of youth and adult choristers, as well as chaperones and friends. They appreciate your prayers while they are on this historic journey.

And Binh Tran, Head Sexton, will retire at the end of July after 26 years of service to St. Philip's.
