Title

Welcome to St. Philip's Episcopal Church

Description

The central act of worship in the Episcopal Church is the Holy Eucharist. The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is also called the Lord's Supper, The Holy Communion, the Mass, the Divine Liturgy and the Great Offering. The Eucharist is celebrated every Sunday and enables us to share in Christ's sacrifice by receiving the holy meal of bread and wine that unites us with the risen Christ. Episcopalians follow an order of service found in the Book of Common Prayer which contains the texts of public worship services, creeds and prayers, and private devotions. The Book of Common Prayer has been in use for nearly 500 years.

The Episcopal Church is a church with few "musts." That means that we are not a confessional church. The Episcopal Church points out, but does not dictate, your response to God. Instead, members are encouraged to use reason to explore and comprehend God's works; to make responsible moral decisions under the guidance of Scripture, the ordained ministry, and in response to sincere prayer. This can be hard to understand for some people who desire "absolutes," and have difficulty living with "gray areas." Think of it as "reconnecting your spirit without disconnecting your brain!"

For more information, we invite you to worship at St. Philip's on a Sunday or stop by the church offices during the week to get to know us better.
