At St Philip's, we glorify God and make disciples by creating a community where we live the love of Christ.

"Come and see" said Jesus' friend Philip when Nathaniel asked him about Jesus.
We invite you to "come and see" what the good news of Jesus Christ is about!

We bless you, God of the universe,
for this land,
for its contrasts of landscape and climate,
for its abundance of wealth and opportunity.
We bless you for our history,
with all its struggles in adversity,
its courage and hope.
Give us in our diversity
tolerance and respect for each other
and a passionate commitment to justice for all.
Bless us so that we might be a blessing to others.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (APBA, p.204)
