An experiment

Would you like to feel happy and satisfied with your life? Would you like to enhance your sense of well-being? There’s one easy thing you can do to help achieve that.

Research from the University of Oxford reveals that the more often people eat with others, the more likely they are to feel happy and satisfied with their lives. Food helps us to slow down, to talk, to laugh, and to meet each other where we are.

Because of COVID, it’s been more than two years since Saint Philip’s offered a communal breakfast on Sunday morning. The Vestry would like to change that and plans to offer breakfast on “First Sundays” for the next four months.

These breakfasts are an experiment. Success will require volunteers who prepare food, serve it, and help with preparation and clean-up. You can volunteer for all four Sundays, three, two, or just one. Contact parishioner (and Vestry member) Roger Rainbolt if you would like to sign-up. He can be reached at 520-638-7166.

The first breakfast will be offered 7:45am-9:00am on Sunday, February 5. The suggested donation for adults will be $10.00 but be reduced to $7.00 if a canned good* is brought to support Saint Philip’s food pantry. Children under 12 will eat for free!

*Saint Philip’s food pantry needs canned meat, canned fruit, and peanut butter (in non-glass containers). Please be sure to check expiration dates of any donations. Thank you!
