Saint Philip's in the Hills Calendar and Announcements: The Week of Quinquagesima WORSHIP AND ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE We welcome children in our worship, and we recognize and value the fact that children are wonderfully spontaneous. If you wish, you may make use of the soft space in the West Transept, with an open carpeted area and baskets of soft toys and books (the West Transept is near the front, to the left if you are facing the altar). There is also a more private room, known as the Bride’s Room, off of the East Transept, where you may go if you need that type of facility. There is also nursery care available at no charge from 8:30AM until 12:30PM in the Children’s Center. On second Sundays at 9:15AM, we have a special “Comfy Space” service for those who tend to wiggle during worship and those who worship with them, held in the Children’s Chapel. During the school year, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Atriums are open for Children’s Formation (Rooms 6,7 and 8 in the Children’s Center) and Youth Groups meet in La Parroquia at 10:15AM. COMMUNION All are welcome to come forward at the time of Communion. The standard practice in the Episcopal Church is that those who are Baptized are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are visiting today and are not Baptized but are feeling drawn to receive Communion, we hope that you will come forward and receive, and that afterwards you will talk to one of the clergy about Baptism and what it means both to take Bread and to become part of the Body. If you don’t want to receive communion or are unsure, you are more than welcome to come forward for a blessing, indicated by crossing your arms over your chest. If you have a food sensitivity that requires a gluten-free Communion Wafer, simply mention that to the clergy person administering Communion. The receptacle containing the gluten-free Hosts will be brought to you, and you may help yourself to a Host (to avoid cross-contamination). To receive the Wine, you may either drink from the common Chalice or hold it for the Chalice Minister to intinct for you and place on your tongue. For those who have difficulty approaching the Communion rail, you have the option of receiving Communion in your seat. Simply notify an usher, or ask a parishioner seated near you to notify an usher for you. RESTROOMS Restrooms are located in the hallway north of the Murphey Gallery, across the Fishpond Garden and up the walkway from the Church. There is a diaper changing table in the gender-neutral ADA-compliant restroom there. Changing tables are also found in both the men’s and women’s restrooms in the Music Center. ACCESSIBILITY This facility is fully accessible. Please speak to an usher if you need assistance. The main area of the Church, forward of the choir stalls, is looped to assist those who have difficulty hearing. If you have a T-coil in your hearing aid, you may sit anywhere in this section and hear via the amplification system.Hearing assist devices are also available from the ushers. These are operational anywhere in the Church. The ushers will ask for your car keys as a reminder to return the device. Large print copies of the Book of Common Prayer are available from the ushers for your use during the service.
