2020 SUMMER OF RE-CREATION - St Philip the Deacon Lutheran ...
Here comes summer!
Summer is a perfect time to play and explore—a time when you and your family
can seek out opportunities to be renewed, refreshed and replenished.
With that in mind, we’ve created all kinds of opportunities to help you make the
most of the summer months here at St. Philip the Deacon—everything from field
trips and service opportunities to mission trips and baseball games.
We hope you’ll find ways to allow God to “re-create” you through some of these
events, and pray that your summer months will be filled with opportunities to
nurture and deepen your faith—and have fun while you’re doing it.
