SCHOOL IS OUT, NOW WHAT?
“With your support, this summer the children from South Dallas and beyond will be assured an opportunity for something to do and something to eat.”
– Dr. Terry J. Flowers

Our most vulnerable neighbors depend on St. Philip’s School & Community Center during the critical summer months to keep their children safe, engaged, and their cupboards full. There is $150,000 left to be raised by June 30 to ensure the highest quality of vital services to 800+ southern sector households this summer. Please join us in transforming lives and our city through FAITH, EDUCATION, and SERVICE by making a donation today at www.stphilips1600.org/donate.
ALUMNI & FAMILY WEEKEND WAS A SUCCESS!
Our inaugural Alumni & Family Weekend was a BIG success thanks to you! Thank you to all of our alumni, parents and family who joined us this weekend to fellowship, reminisce, and have a good time. Chapel and kickball were definite highlights from Saturday.

Much love and appreciation go to our Alumni Committee for their assistance and input in helping plan this wonderful weekend of events.

(And yes, that is Dr. Flowers photo-bombing!) You can see more photos of the weekend here.
IT'S TIME FOR FOOTBALL & CHEER/DANCE!
Last season, our Saints Jr. Pee Wee team traveled to the Worldwide Disney Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida for the Pop Warner Super Bowl and our Cheer/Dance team did an AMAZING job at the Southwest Regional Pop Warner Cheer and Dance Competition in McAllen, bringing home the 2nd place trophy! Great things are in store this season – find out more and join the football or cheer team here.

Football and Cheer/Dance registration is open through August 10 for everyone in the community ages 4-12.
