CHRISTMAS PARTY DANESE COURT

December is a special month for the children at Danese Court. They are looking forward to a visit from their special Santa — Rudi Urban. Rudi is well known by the Philip Neri family, whether baking bread or playing the drum for liturgy. The Danese Court Library Christmas Party will be Thursday, December 21, and Santa will once again make an appearance, bringing the gift of laughter and small presents, many of which are provided by our church family. They may not know all of us, but they have a great representative in “our” Santa. How many children can actually recognize their Santa when he’s met a refugee family at the airport and delivers them to their new home in Jacksonville. Now, that’s a gift!

We will have a small tree set up on December 3 and December 10, with ornaments describing items we will be purchasing for the children this year. We are choosing to take cash donations this year so that we can be sure we have extra gifts and items based on the number and ages of the children who come — we always have unexpected guests at Christmas and we want to be prepared. Please leave a small donation on the tree and say a prayer that our kids will do well in school this year. We hope you understand how important this event is to them and please know, that you are invited any Monday or Thursday to come read a book, play a game or color a picture with us.

Merry Christmas!

 We gather every Sunday Liturgy. The word liturgy means “work, or work of the people,” and it is work of the people, not for the people (which is the distinction between liturgy and magic, since magic is directed for some outcome for people).  Liturgy is different than a service which often is entertainment at its worst, or passively watching and listening to what is going on at church.  Liturgy, rather, is something we do together.

CHRISTMAS EVE CANDLELIGHT SERVICE SATURDAY,  12/24 5:00 PM 

Refreshments and light nibbles to follow.

CHRISTMAS EVE COLLECTION

Our Christmas Eve collection goes to helping several inner city single parents and families this year.  As is our tradition, the collection does not go to the church but to needy people we have the privilege to support. If you will not be at the Christmas Eve liturgy but want to contribute, simply mark your check or donation “Christmas Eve” so we can include it in the collection.

Thank you for giving some children a Christmas morning.

St. Philip Neri weekly Bible Study Group named ‘The Pilot Light Scripture Study and Prayer Group’ because we will focus on prayer and community building, as well as Scripture.  The meetings will reflect our Liturgy in that after reading and sharing in God’s Word, we will pray together as a community for individuals and the world, as well as share in Communion. 

The week can be long from Sunday to Sunday; let’s keep our Pilot Light of Love burning for Christ all week long! The Pilot Light group will meet on Wednesdays, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.  All are welcome! Invite your friends!
