St. Philip makes a special effort to have Church School classes designed for every age group. Church School is from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. in July. We have many exciting offerings for you to choose from this month.

Children & Youth

Ages 3 and Under: Join this group in the nursery for the summer months. Ages 4 years thru 5th grade: This age group will view videos, participate in activities and discuss how God’s Fruits of the Spirit are demonstrated. Jr. High & Senior High: (Youth Hall) Jr. High & Senior High youth will be looking at the faith community's role in their lives. The youth will be exploring ways of dealing with different age related topics. Adults The Joy Class: This class is for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We combine instruction, music and crafts to teach adults the basics of the Christian faith. This class uses shared leadership and is studying compassion. Parlor Alpha Class: This class studies scripture together by going through the Present Word series. Using shared leadership, this class comes together to read and discuss themes and questions in scripture. The summer quarter Explores justice and injustice. Lessons covering seven different prophets investigate the perpetrators of injustice, the nature of injustice, and the victims of injustice. It steadily moves toward repentance, redemption, and restoration. Unit I: Amos Rails Against. Unit II: Micah Calls for Justice among Unjust People focuses on social and moral injustice, the injustice of corrupt leaders, and what God requires for justice, and Unit III: Advocates of Justice for All completes the quarter with five lessons covering five prophets. Room A Feasting on the word: Feasting on the Word is a Lectionary based curriculum. This class reads and comes together to discuss and read scripture. Participants are all ages, all walks of life, marital status and Bible knowledge.

The Chancel Choir The Chancel Choir includes adults and youth from ninth grade through twelfth grade. They sing traditional and contemporary anthems in the 11:00 worship service and rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 PM. They rehearse year round and have two concerts, one at Christmas and one in the

spring. They had the privilege of singing in the Meyerson Symphony Hall in 2013. If you are interested in singing with this choir, please see Pam Cochrane or call her at 817-282-9181.

Adult Hand Bell Choir

The Adult Hand Bell choir plays three octaves of bells seasonally and rehearses Sundays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Rehearsals resume in late February and we will practice Lenten and Easter music in preparation for playing in worship. If you are interested in more in-formation or in joining this group, please contact Pam Cochrane at 817-282-9181.

Youth Chime Choir This instrumental group is made up of youth from 6th to 12th grades. (Chimes are played like hand bells but are a metal bar with a mallet attached to it, and they have a more mellow tone than bells). This choir meets on Sundays from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. They contribute to worship by playing six times during the school year. For more information, contact Marcey Mullins or Pam Cochrane at the church Office, 817-282-9181.

Praise Ensemble The Praise Ensemble is a very fine group with stringed instruments, keyboard and percussion that plays all the music in the worship service on the fifth Sunday of the month. If you are interested in playing with this group, see Tom Demer or call the church office at 817-282-9181 and talk to Pam Cochrane.

Children’s Music During Sunday school each week (9:45 to 10:45), children will experience singing and playing rhythm instruments as they learn new and traditional church songs and hymns. They will sing in worship three or four times during the school year using the music they have been studying, and they will learn how to contribute to the worship service.
