Save the Date - Parish PicnicWe have scheduled our annual parish picnic for June 22nd after our 9:30 AM worship service. This is a relaxed and fun opportunity to bring family, friends and neighbours to celebrate the wonderful community we share at St. Philip. Only a month away! Keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to help; there will be sign-up sheets available, but we are in particular need of one or more people to organize activities and games, so let Allen (incumbent@stphilipvictoria.ca), Larry (lanthony@stphilipvictoria.ca) or Judith (jarmstrong@stphilipvictoria.ca) know if this is something you feel called to lead. At this service nearest the end of the academic year, there will also be a special prayer and blessing for those graduating from all levels and programs of education this year. And for educators! Please send Fr. Allen any names for the list: incumbent@stphilipvictoria.ca Please note: we will be taking photographs throughout the picnic time that may be posted on our church website or social media. |

Singing circleThis is an invitation for people of all ages to enjoy a time of informal singing and making music. Chris and Alix Harvey would like to invite people with or without instruments to join us at the church, and at a time that is determined to be convenient for participants. Your musical preferences and talents are not crucial- we will construct a song bank based on what you want to sing. This may be a one-time event or if there is enthusiasm, we are keen to continue. If you are interested and would like to take part, email Chris . <flashharvey@gmail.com> Photo by Tomás Robertson on Unsplash |

Hope & Belonging! Benefit ConcertWhat a great combination of good causes! REACH does such good work providing opportunities for disabled folks to participate in music. - Dave and Zita Conway On May 24th, a very special concert will take place in Victoria for a very important and worthy cause. We're sure the audience will be inspired. We'd also love for you to come and experience this firsthand yourself. The HOPE AND BELONGING Benefit Concert is to support the amazing work of VICCIR (Vancouver Island Counselling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees - co-founded by Adrienne Carter) www.viccir.org/ . The work they do with newcomers to Canada who have experienced trauma (and sometimes torture) is truly life-changing. However, like other agencies serving newcomers, VICCIR has recently experienced major funding cuts from the federal government. So we're trying to help and have lined up more than 60 amazing performers in a show sure to bring joy and hope to those who experience it. Full information and tickets online are available at: https://hopeandbelonging.eventbrite.ca Printed tickets may also be purchased at VICCIR (by cash or cheque) at #100 - 850 Blanshard St., Tel. 778-404-1777. Advanced tickets are recommended. (They are less expensive and concerts produced by REACH! sometimes sell out in advance.) You can see a past performance here: https://www.westcoastreach.org/shows.html |
