Durham CAN Listening Session – March 30 – What Durham issues are important to you? What do you think Durham CAN (Durham Congregations, Associations, and Neighborhoods) should advocate for this year? Durham CAN is a diverse coalition of 25+ organizations working for progressive change in our community, with past wins like universal free lunch for Durham students and 800+ affordable housing units downtown. Come to this Durham CAN listening session to offer your input for Durham CAN’s upcoming agenda. Whether you live in the city or not, your input on issues affecting our community is critical!
Exploring our Vision Statement – March 16, March 23, April 6 – We have a beautiful new vision statement! Now what? Join Maryann for a three-part interactive forum series that takes a deeper dive into the language of our vision statement. We’ll explore what the statement means for St. Philip’s now and in the immediate future, devoting one Sunday each to the statement’s three main sections. Using our vision of who we aspire to be, what are specific ways to interpret God’s call to us in today’s world? Mark your calendars for these Sunday Forums:
- March 16: Worship
- March 23: Love
- April 6: Action

Wednesday Night Engage!
Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM
Engage! – our Wednesday night programming series – meets in person (in the parish house library) and online (on Zoom).
Upcoming Engage! sessions:
Lenten Book Study: Becoming Human by Brian G. Taylor – Wednesdays during Lent: March 12, 19, 26, April 2, 9 • 6:30 PM – During Lent, the whole parish is invited to read a short chapter a day of Becoming Human. Taylor’s succinct summations of what Jesus taught―Don’t worry; Love everybody; Help the poor; Become simple; Face into conflict; Change the world; Forgive yourself for being human, and so on―provide the basis for this series of reflections on the transformative wisdom that inspired those who had ears to hear to drop everything and follow him. We’ll gather for discussion of the past week’s readings on Wednesday nights at 6:30.
