Announcing!
St. Philip'sHarvest & Holiday
Arts & Crafts Fair
October 19, 2002

St. Philip's Fund Raising Committee is planning an Arts & Crafts Fair for the Fall. We need your help! We are looking for crafters who would like to sell their handmade arts and crafts. We will be charging a $50-$15 booth fee (depending on size of booth) and 10% of each booth's total sales. If you or someone you know would be interested,  please let us know as soon as possible. The Application deadline is August 15, so we'd like to send our packet out in June.

In addition to the above, we are planning to sell food, Christmas wreaths and garlands, our great Brooms, "Barely Used Art/Collectibles" and Children's Crafts, all as fund raiser for St. Philip's. We would also like to have donated crafts for a "Made by St. Philip's Members" booth!
For more information, or if you would be interested in helping with the event,  please contact:
Nancy Jackson, Julie Levy, Claire Mills

Becoming Real People

Huston Smith, an active Christian widely known for his writings on the world's religions, comments in his recent book Why
Religion Matters:
"My church has picked up the idea of building advertising into its return address, so in the upper left hand corner of its envelopes the name of the church is now followed by 'Committed to Social Justice and Spiritual Growth.'
Fancifully (but only partly so) I have found myself playing with an alternative wording that would read 'Committed to Making People Real,' for that is not a bad way of describing the religious project: the effort to transcend phoniness.
The whole object of religion, it might be said, is to enable people to come as close as possible to God's infinite reality.  That should be easy, because God is so real that we should respond like iron filings to his magnetic pull.  Actually, though, it is difficult, because we are so unreal that there is not much in us for Gods pull to grab hold of. 
Would it not be refreshing to learn from a church's return address that it was 'Committed to Making People Less Shallow.' "
