Christian formation

September’s theme: Approaching God through poetry
This month all are invited to explore poetry, creativity, and faith with poet and translator (and Saint Philip’s parishioner), Kelsi Vanada.

Wednesday, September 27
At 6:30pm this Wednesday, September 27, Kelsi will focus on English translations of poetic New Testament passages, such as the Beatitudes. She will invite participants to draw insight from Sarah Ruden’s “The Face of Water: A Translator on Beauty and Meaning in the Bible.”

Dinner at Mosaic

The meal at 6:00pm is possible because of generous volunteers who shop for the food and arrive early to prepare it. They craft dinners to feed 30-50 people on a very tight budget and say they find inspiration from the miracle of the fishes and the loaves.

It will help the volunteers enormously if you RSVP for dinner this coming Wednesday, September 27.

What is Mosaic?
Mosaic is a weekly gathering on Wednesdays for fellowship, formation, and prayer. The community is made up of people from different backgrounds but everyone shares an interest in nourishing their relationship with God. It’s a wonderful way to meet people involved in different ministries at Saint Philip’s and learn about ways to be of service.

You are invited to participate in all events or just one:

5:15pm Worship service in the church
6:00pm Dinner in the Murphey Gallery
6:30pm Formation in the Murphey Gallery
