Advent Wreath Workshop: If you don't use an Advent wreath in your home, considering starting the tradition this year. An Advent wreath is a visible reminder of the coming of our Lord, one that helps us keep our focus on the real meaning of Christmas. On Sunday, Nov. 23, there will be a workshop in the undercroft following the 10 a.m. worship service during which you can make an Advent wreath to take home. The cost for all materials is only $10 and can be paid at the door. Sign up on the bulletin board. Please note: there will be no regular Church School for preschoolers through sixth graders that Sunday so that families can make the wreaths together.

Office help:  During various times of the year, office help is needed to create booklets, directories, annual reports, etc.  The assistance entails copying, answering phones, folding and some light computer work.  Help is also needed when our Administrative Assistant is out of the office.  If you are interested in being a part of an office team please contact Ann Ehlert at info@stphilipsrochester.org or 248.651.6188.

Millennium Development Goal 2: Universal Primary Education
Coming next week: Raffle (license #99513) to benefit Head Start School at St. Mary's Anglican Church in Axim, Ghana, Africa. 1st Prize: One week stay 5 star Bonnet Creek Resort on Disneyworld campus. 2nd Prize: $500 deck power wash 3rd Prize: Detroit Zoo Family membership.  Each ticket is $10, each ticket will have 3X ticket price in coupons on the back.  I NEED you to help by selling 10 tickets each. The goal is to sell 500 tickets. Prizes and tickets are 100% donated, therefore 100% proceeds will go to complete the school. Local labor from this small, very poor fishing town of Axim is hired, another blessing. Check St. Philip's website to view how great the school is coming along. We need to finish the plumbing, and replace the buckets children use as toilets.  The seller of the winning ticket will receive a prize. Peace,  Karen Hooven
