What to Expect on Sunday

​

 If you are new to St. Philip’s and the Episcopalian faith, just consider that you are entering into a conversation with God and the faithful. Just join in as you are.  All who seek God are welcome to the Lord’s Table and join our Eucharist - receive the Bread and Wine. Even if you do not seek God, you are still welcome because God seeks you.
