St. Philip's Episcopal Church Pioneer Days Worship in the Park

Sunday, August 19th @ 10AM under the Osage Orange Tree at Old Fort Harrod.

We are delighted that we've been asked to do this and ask that, if possible, you bring a lawn chair and a friend and come out. It should be a lovely, casual worship service. The format will look like our regular service in the park and is a great opportunity for us to bring the wonderful love that we share with one another into our community.

The 122^nd Convention of the Diocese of Lexington elected the

Rt. Rev. Mark Van Koevering as the new Bishop Provisional.

St. Philip's vendor's booth is now at Rags to Riches in Harrodsburg 

We are still collecting gently used and vintage items to sell! 

Check out the booth -- it's toward the back of the building and has a "St. Philip's" sign on it.

You can drop your items at St. Philip's office on Mondays/Fridays from 10-2 (Call Ahead) or larger items can be picked up. Thanks for all the generous donations!

Call the church office if you need someone to pick up your donations.

Children & Youth Education

Nursery available every Sunday for children under 4 yrs.

Children's Church on 2nd & 4th Sundays at 10:00 AM

St. Philip's offers 2 wonderful children's education programs:

The 1^st Sunday of the month, kids remain & serve in church. 

The  2nd and 4th Sundays are, Godly Play, a Music, Art and Bible lesson that occurs in the CER Youth Center located next door to the church building (ages: Preschool - 4^th Grade.)

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 the sacred space for kids to explore the stories of our faith. We openly and warmly invite all age-appropriate children to this beautiful introduction to experiencing the mystery of God in our lives.

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

Please contact Vicki Mackey or Rebecca Robinson for questions about DOK or if you would like to add someone to the DOK prayer list.
