At the announcements during the 10:30 service on Sunday, May 11, campaign co-chair Maybank Hagood, flanked by co-chairs Karen Phillips and Martha Freshley, took to the eagle to share that a few days earlier, the campaign had raised pledges and donations surpassing that mark. The congregation responded with a very enthusiastic round of applause....
Congratulations to Our Graduates!
O Eternal God, bless all schools, colleges, and universities, that they may be lively centers for sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom; and grant that those who teach and those who learn may find you to be the source of all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen....
When my daughter and son-in-law announced in May of 2021 that they were moving to Seattle with my then almost-one-year-old granddaughter, I was both happy for them and sad for me. It was a great opportunity for them and a chance to explore a new area of this beautiful country we live in, but it really posed great consternation for me and my husband. They had been living near Columbia, and we had gotten plenty of opportunities to spend time with them and our newest granddaughter. ...

St. Philip's family, our ministry partners at Water Mission are providing critical disaster assistance to those impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Helene, especially in the upstate and in Western North Carolina. They have already sent Living Water systems to those without water or whose only water is contaminated, but the work has only just begun, and they will conti...
A few minutes before 9:30 on the morning of Sunday, September 22, the Parish Hall was filled with the standard pre-Rector’s Forum buzz––the what-have-you-been-up-to-since-last-Sunday chitchatting, the finding-a-seat foot shuffling, and the laughter that warmly punctuates the end of a shared anecdote. But just beyond the buzz, beside the dais, Penn and Ben Hagood stoo...
This past Saturday, fourteen dedicated St. Philip’s volunteers came together to show their love and support for our Star Gospel Mission, one of our Home Mission partners.

On a cool and partly cloudy Saturday morning in one of the far corners of the earth, several hundred people gathered in plastic chairs on a brown lawn under the façade of an imposing church. Some had traveled thousands of miles by plane and then hours more by car; many had walked. Most were dressed in their very best: men in shirt and jacket, women in colorful fabrics, ch...
James Ray, a junior at Philip Simmons High School and member of Boy Scout Troop 519 in Daniel Island, began working toward his Eagle Scout rank in 2019. On Saturday, September 14, he completed one of the final steps in his journey: a service project that he’d planned, developed, and led by himself––and he did at his home church, St. Philip’s!

It is difficult for us here in beautiful Charleston, the “Holy City,” to fathom the reality that there are 365 million brothers and sisters in our world who can lose their jobs, homes, and very lives just for believing in Christ or even owning a Bible. Yet we must not turn away from these horrific facts no matter how hard they are to think about. We must pray regularly...
Isn’t it a tremendous feeling to be able to take part in a day like Rally Sunday? We are so blessed to be able to drop our kids off at Sunday school (or in the choir room!), grab a cup of delicious coffee (oh, Perky People...how we love you), and take a seat in the adult offering of our choice (we’ve got three––that in itself is also pretty tremendous!).
