Give food and warmth for #ReverseAdventGiving.

This holiday season, St. Philip’s is partnering with Urban Ministries of Durham in a new kind of Advent calendar. Along with each weekly devotional reading, you’ll see a list of items to donate to UMD. You can drop off each week’s items on the donation tables in the Parish Hall. Please join us in helping our neighbors fill their shelves and navigate the winter months this holiday season!
