Save the date for our annual retreat to Kanuga Friday, May 28 to Sunday, May 30. If you have never joined us for the weekend at Kanuga you are missing a lot of fun!

If the Cathedral of St. Philip is the Body of Christ - the living Body of Christ - then we must acknowledge that our body is comprised of living cells. Every organism has cells, smaller components of life who both represent the larger body but who also perform specialized functions. The eye is not the arm is not the kidney is not the heart. But we all need each other.

Today, a variety of beautiful and committed groups and programs exist at the Cathedral of St. Philip. Much of the real ministry of the Cathedral exists in small clusters of commitment and prayer. We are guilds, study groups, mission councils, demographic groups, prayer groups, committees, and classes. Each of these groups has a different function; but, together, we comprise the living body of the Cathedral of St. Philip. The Cathedral, like any church, needs inner strength. We are strong when our cells are strong.

This church encourages all her members to be a part of a group, whether by attending a Sunday afternoon recital, volunteering for outreach projects, or attending a class. It is through fellowship that we develop relationships, and through those human relationships we grow closer to God. Our myriad programs and fellowship groups provide wonderful opportunities for being in a relationship. Fellowship can be strictly social, as is the case with some groups, but it can also be a combination of social, service and study components. The Cathedral encourages you to explore the options and know God through community.

Sunday Mornings in The Fishbowl

Join us for our Sunday Youth class, The Fishbowl, downstairs at 10:10 AM in Room 121.

As with each Sunday this school year, we will have a lively morning of worship, praise, and discussion.

We begin our experience in separate “schools” (5th/6th, 7th/8th, 9th-12th) for an age appropriate discussion of the weekly theme.

Clips from television, movies, poems, and songs help us break down the message and apply it to our daily lives.

We then join together in The Fishbowl to conclude with song, prayer, and Scripture as a larger group.
