The Struggle to Juggle | Women’s Conference – Oct 5

By Christian Formation, Upcoming Events

Equipping, Encouraging, and Empowering Women of Faith. Women often juggle several roles – wife, mom, daughter, employee, and more! Let’s be honest, juggling all these varied roles is a real struggle – especially when we see “that woman” who appears to be juggling all her roles without breaking a sweat or chipping a nail. Join us Saturday, October 5 from 9 am – 3 pm at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church (in the Stanton Commons), as we learn from three gifted speakers, discuss how we can support each other with love rather than judgment, and find the power in connecting with our juggling sisters, instead of trying to do it all on our own. Register online now! Cost is $20 and lunch is provided. Or pay by check made payable to St. Philip’s and send to St. Philip’s, 6400 Stonebrook, Frisco, TX 75034 attention Brandi White.

“Stop the Bleed” and the Bleeding Control Course – Sunday, Oct 13

By Upcoming Events

Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Join us in the Parish Hall after our Coffee/Social Hour on Sunday, Oct. 13 for this valuable training. Immediate Responders … Not Bystanders No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths will occur. People can take simple steps to keep the injured person alive until appropriate medical care is available. Here are three actions…
