Upcoming Events

Movie Night: Thursday, April 18 at 7:00 PM

St. Philip’s MOvie NIght is Thursday, April 18 at 7:00 PM. The movie is Barabbas starring Anthony Quinn. It is an epic Biblical tale about the criminal who was released by Pontius Pilate in preference to Jesus prior to the crucifixion. The action follows Barabbas after his release by Pontius Pilate. Join us for an enjoyable cinematic evening.

NA Addiction and Family Resource Group

St. Philip’s will host an NA group on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM beginning February 6. The group will meet in the Parish Hall and will be facilitated by Marty Gray. Though there are NA groups in Lexington, there are currently none in Mercer County, and this causes a major gap in the services available to people jere who wish to maintain their sobriety and help others become drug-free as well. The group is named the Addiction and Family Resource Group. It will meet weekly at 6 pm in the Parish Hall. For more information on NA, visit their web site. All interested persons are invited to attend the meetings, and everyone is asked to remember this ministry in your prayers.

New Vestry Members

At the Annual Parish Meeting in November, two new Vestry members were elected to three-year terms beginning January 1, 2018. The parish elected Kathy Dedman and Kristie Jones. The Senior Warden for 2018 is Vicki Mackey and Greg Yankey will serve as the Junior Warden.

Recurring Events

Service of Reflection & Dialogue every Wednesday at 6:30 PM: This is a casual interactive service. Fr. Peter has a short sermon followed by a time to reflect, respond, and discuss. It is a very relaxed and supportive service with time to listen as well as time to speak about life's concerns. Please join us for a quieter, contemplative time of worship, prayer, and healing.

Children and Youth Education. St. Philip's offers two unique wonderful children's education programs. The first Sunday of the month, Kids remain and serve in church.  Music, Art and Bible lessons occur on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the CER Youth Center located next door to the church bldg. Our families meet in the church and our children lead us into worship. Then children walk with a guide to the CER bldg, and return to the church at the Offertory to be with their families for the Eucharist. Godly Play is offered on the second and fourth Sundays of each month for children who are preschool age through 4th grade Elementary School. Godly Play is the sacred space for children to explore the stories of our faith. Beth Pritchett is a certified teacher in the Godly Play curriculum, and she openly and warmly invites all age-appropriate children to this beautiful introduction to experiencing the mystery of God in our lives.

Nursery is available for children under 4yrs. every Sunday.

Daughters of the King meet the first Sunday of the month at 11:30 AM

Please contact Vicki Mackey (mackeys1@yahoo.com) or Rebecca Robinson (rorobinson@bellsouth.net) for questions about DOK of if you would like to add someone to the DOK prayer list.

The Community Meal is served in the Parish Hall on the Fourth Thursday of the month beginning at 4:45 PM. If you would like to volunteer for this ministry, please contact Katie Lay (or church office). See the Community Meal page in the Ministries section for more information (click here).

Sign-up sheets for altar flowers are in the church. Altar flowers are $40 per Sunday, and a dedication for the flowers appears in the bulletin (for example, "in honor of ..." or "in loving memory of ..."). We also need volunteers to provide snacks or finger food for coffee hour on the first Sunday of the month. Please sign up for these donations using the sign-up sheets.  There are no flowers during Lent.
