The Great Sock Drive to Benefit Local Homeless
Here is a straightforward way everyone can help by being a part of The Great Sock Drive of 2021! Homeless people do not have frequent access to laundry facilities. When their socks get wet, they risk getting infections or even frostbite. It is important that they have dry socks to stay healthy. The Great Sock Drive was started over five years ago to help those in need. Socks can be placed into the big blue tub on the porch of St. Philip's at 10 Chapel Road, New Hope PA from November 28 through December 25, 2021.
St. Philip's parishioners will help distribute the socks in the Bucks County and Philadelphia areas.

SON OF A NUTCRACKER!
The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. The second best way is to watch Elf with a good drink and great friends!
All elves 21 and older are invited to a grownups-only screening of Elf at the Newtown Theatre on Friday, December 13. In addition to the screening starting at 9 PM, each guest will enjoy one free drink (beer, wine, or a signature cocktail), free popcorn, and pre-movie trivia with Elf-themed prizes.
Don't be a cotton-headed ninny muggins! Come dressed to impress as an elf. The best-dressed elf, as determined by audience voting, will win a special prize.
