another through these caring ministries. You are invited to join

CONDOLENCE

for handwritten letters to the bereaved in our parish. We want
to let them know that St. Philip's cares about them. If you have
an interest in helping this ministry, please call Judy Corse at

DAUGHTERS
OF THE KING
Over 100 years old within the Episcopal Church, the Daughters
take a vow of prayer, study, and service to spread Christ's kingdom
in the world. They regularly share a prayer list of parish and
personal concerns and serve the clergy as asked. For example,
if clergy request an occasional call to a person, perhaps permanently
or temporarily shut-in, one of the Daughters will do this. For
more information, contact Laura Shaffer, 908-8774 or e-mail.
