September – October 2015
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.

Please join Carrie and Marcia every third Sunday of the month from 1PM to 2PM for a visit to Elmcroft of Timberline Parc Assisted Living Center Assisted Living Center to sing along and visit with the residents.
They welcome the company and are joyful as we sing along to old favorites.

In the United States, October 4 is traditionally celebrated as the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Because St. Francis of Assisi is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment, October 4 is a very popular day for pets to be blessed. All types of pets are welcome to participate in the blessing and for those pet parents who can’t bring your pet, a photo of your pet is encouraged. All dogs should be on a leash and all cats should be in carriers.
If you are interested in participating as a vendor, please CONTACT US.
If you would like to sponsor the event, please CONTACT US.

HOUR OF HEALING PRAYER
The Healing Prayer Ministry of St. Philip Neri Ecumenical Church is offering an Hour of Healing Prayer on the FIRST Sunday of every month, immediately following the Liturgy. The Hour Of Healing Prayer will begin at approximately 12:00 pm. Anyone who wishes to receive prayer is welcome to come.
There will be a scripture selected and read at the beginning of the hour followed by a period of about 20 minutes per session of healing prayer. There will always be two prayer ministers present to pray with each person.
If you have a need for Healing Prayer for yourself or someone else and you are not able to come for prayer, please Email Marge Townsend at squattie@bellsouth.net or Margaret Santapola at 2twinb@bellsouth.net and we will place the name on our Prayer List.
“This is the sign of the believers, they lay hands on the sick and they recover.” Mark 16:18
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!
