The Bishop Search Committee is at the point where they want to hear from us. In the coming weeks, they will be sending an important online survey. They want as many people, as possible, in the Diocese to participate in this survey.
In early October, the committee will also conduct virtual listening sessions to give all members of the Diocese an opportunity to share our hopes for our new bishop.

Regardless of who you are voting for, Virginia's Gubernatorial election is majorly important nationally.
- Virginia has a fairly good track record of foretelling the national environment a year later.

It was a beautiful morning for the
Homecoming Service and Celebration
at the Roslyn Conference Center
It was great to hear inspirational words, once again, from the guest speaker Deacon Frederico. And always a delight to see his wife, Mary.
There were over 60 people in attendence! It was wonderful to see so many of
St. Philip's family in person.
After the service, we enjoyed a long overdue fellowship with a
delicious lunch and music.
Below are a few pictures that capture the the spirit of the day!

"Chico, the pup of the hour!"
The "Blessing of the Animals" made the paper! Of course,
it was a big story to us, but now the community knows about it. Pictured is Jordan Williams with the family's newest addition, Chico, bracing for his blessing from
Rev. Marlene. Rumor has it that Chico is a master at tricks! Also, we see Jay with the
Greene's family dog, Oscar. Oscar has never missed a blessing
and instructs the younger pups on how it's done.
Be sure to join us next year with or without a pet or a dog for
a doggone good time!
