Hope and courage
Saint Philip’s will host a gathering of the Companions of the Holy Cross from 10:00am-2:00pm in the Murphey Gallery tomorrow, Saturday, November 18. Participants will discuss retired Bishop Stephen Charleston’s book, Ladder to the Light, which shares the message to maintain hope and find courage.
Steven Charleston is a member of the Choctaw Nation and lives in Oklahoma. He is also an Episcopal priest and former president and dean of the Episcopal Divinity School.
Parishioner and Companion Diane Dittemore will lead the discussion. All women are invited!
Bring a light lunch, enjoy some fellowship, and receive some wisdom from the Bishop. Contact Diane at dddittem4@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Who are the Companions of the Holy Cross? They are women committed to prayer, spiritual growth, and are part of a welcoming faith community of Christian women from all walks of life.
Members are young—and older. They are reverent—and sometimes a little irreverent. They are lively. What they all have in common is a commitment to God to support each other through prayer, service, outreach, spiritual growth, fellowship, and simplicity of life.
If you are curious and would like to learn more, contact parishioners Rita Smalling at rsmalling@ymail.com or Diane Dittemore at dddittem4@gmail.com.
