Acolytes Welcome!
With the fall upon us, we are once again inviting children from 3rd grade and up to become acolytes. Serving as an acolyte is a wonderful opportunity for your child to participate in the worship of St. Philip's. If you are interested in knowing more, please call Julie Edwards-Levy. Also, we are looking for a volunteer to be Acolyte Director. If you are interested, please call Julie at the same number above.

(including St. Philip's) are invited to participate by collecting canned and other non-perishable foods, which are then dropped off at the Ben Lomond center. If families make a practice of bringing a can of tuna, a jar of spaghetti sauce or peanut butter, or a package of dinner mix to church on Sundays, we could have a big basket to donate to VCU each week.

Facility Update
From Dennis Potts
For those interested in helping to keep up and improve our wonderful facility here at St. Phillips, I would like you to give me a call.
I am attempting to pull together a team
that will help manage upkeep of the
facility and identify and manage areas
for capital improvement. I am looking for
at least three other individuals who would be willing to help.
One's unique skill levels are less important than their willingness to lend a hand. I know there are a whole bunch of creative individuals out there with ideas to help improve our current facility, so please give me a call. I would like to schedule a meeting for early in September after school starts. Thanks, Dennis

Our Orthodox sisters and brothers mark their altar bread with this pattern. The ICXC device signifies Christ victorious (center), the three triangles in one represent the Panaghia or Virgin Mary (left), and the nine triangles symbolize the nine hosts of angels, as well as martyrs, fathers and mothers of the church, and the communion of saints.

Roll out 3/8 inch thick. Cut into rounds or desired size (no larger than 6.5 inches in diameter). Tupperware can be used as a cookie cutter.
Place rounds on a heavy, light-colored, oiled (or use non-stick spray) cookie sheet. Score a cross using a long, sharp, thin knife dipped in cool water. Rock knife gently while scoring.
Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees F. (Watch carefully!) Bottoms should be very lightly brown. Cool on wire rack and wrap well. Bread will keep in refrigerator up to two weeks ( longer in freezer). Let bread come to room temp before use.
