A note from the Rev. Michael A. Bullock

Dear Folks:

In this letter, I want to report to you three things that reflect the ongoing life and resilience of St. Philip’s. In a time of separation, confusion, and gnawing anxiety, our parish has gone about its life and mission with a steadfast sense of purpose, faith, and hope. For instance, I am proud of the way that our members continue to keep the prayers together by showing up for Sunday worship on Zoom and by participating in the offering of Compline each night on YouTube. Clearly, this experience of worship is NOT convenient. In fact, dealing with the technology can be acid to our faith; but irrespective of the remoteness involved, we gather together to remember who we are and Whose we are.

In this vein, there are three items that I want to report to you as updates to our parish’s resilient life in this time of “wilderness”. Read More
