Thanksgiving Appeal

We have so much to be thankful for this year! Our year has been one of upheaval and change, but we faced it with grace, kindness, and a strong sense of community.  

We seemed to say goodbye and welcome quite often this year. 

• We said goodbye to Rev. Stuart Hallam and his family, Laura and Matilda 
• We welcomed and said goodbye to Philippa Seagrave-Pride, our Priest in Charge  We welcomed Tiffany Ho, our new Parish Administrator 
• We have just welcomed our new Rector – Rev Lorne Manweiler! 
• And the most heartwarming welcome of all: we were able to welcome parishioners back into the church this summer. Attendance has grown steadily as people gain confidence.  

We met. 

• We met online for worship, committees, Vestry, Wednesday Prayers, and Zoom Coffee 
• We met shoppers at St Philip’s as they came to pick up: Flower Baskets on Mother’s Day Homemade Baking for Father’s Day & Summer  Books, books, and more books! 
• And we meet next to plan the Christmas Fair – Watch for details re shopping online and in-person for poinsettias, baking, Christmas Cakes, preserves, and more.  

We are managing well financially, thanks to your generous support. We encourage you to continue your generosity with a Thanksgiving gift in gratitude for all that we have received.   

There are several ways to donate to St Philip’s in response to Thanksgiving. Go to our donations page for details.
