Pray That I Pray More: The St Philip’s Prayer Discipline…

… a ministry of the Fellowship of St John the Divine, is designed for Orthodox believers who wish to deepen their spirituality through a regular diet of prayer and study.  There are flyers on the table in the Narthex on this prayer rule/group.  Pick one up and consider joining with hundreds of other who follow this discipline in the Church.  Or, check it out on the web: stphilipsprayerdiscipline.org

AMEN (Antiochian Men Eating at Noon [or around 1:00 PM])
The men of the parish will have lunch and a time of fellowship together on the 1st Tuesday of the month. Our next AMEN Lunch will be at Central Market on Lamar on July 6 at 12:00 PM (noon). For more information, contact the Church Office or Fr. David.

When Offering Holy Bread:
• Please limit names to immediate family and those that you especially wish to commemorate.
• Remember to list clergy by rank - Archimandrite, Archpriest, Priest, etc., not "Father," which is only used for personal address.
• Use full Christian names, not nicknames, wherever possible (e.g., “James,” not “Jimmy”).
• Do not list the bishop among your commemorations. He is already commemorated.
• Do not list parish clergy among commemorations. They do not commemorate themselves.
• When offering a Trisagion, please place that name first on your list of departed.
