A new ministry

Are you a veteran? A family member of a veteran? Concerned about veterans?

If you answered, “yes,” to any of these questions then Dcn Leah Sandwell-Weiss would like to hear from you. She and David Powell (a deacon-in-training) are both veterans and interested in starting a Veterans Ministry at Saint Philip’s.

There are over 600,000 veterans who live in Arizona—and that number doesn’t represent active-duty members, family members, and people who work in military-related jobs. There are a lot of people who could benefit from the spiritual and social support that a caring and loving church can provide.

The first step is to learn who at Saint Philip’s is a veteran and then find out who is interested in this ministry. The next step will be to discuss common interests and identify specific areas of focus.

Contact Deacon Leah at lsandwellweiss@gmail.com by Friday, January 12, so she can plan a meeting in February. Thank you!
