It is good to pray for the life of the church, and the lives of all those who live and work in East End Park and Osmondthorpe.

We start at 9.30am in the church chapel and pray until 10.15am. We then get our walking shoes on and go for a prayer walk around the parish. We do this from 10.15-11am, just 45 minutes. Prayer walking is simple: we walk, we look, we observe and pray.

Why not give it a go?

We love to worship our great God!

Our services are marked with a strong commitment to singing, reading and preaching from the Bible, gathering around the Lord's table for Communion (though not every week), and prayer. Alongside this, we believe church should foster fellowship and community, as it did in the early church (Acts 2:42).

We worship in an informally liturgical manner in a pattern of communion services and Sunday worship. We have a worship band, though sometimes a single musician.

Our pattern is as follows:
1st Sundays - ALL AGE Worship(no groups)
2nd Sundays - Holy Communion with Children's Group for 4-11s
3rd Sundays - Morning Worship with Children's Groups for 4-11s and 11-15s
4th Sundays - Holy Communion with Children's Group for 4-11s
5th Sundays - Morning Worship with Children's Groups for 4-11s

We believe every member of church flourishes when part of a small group. At St Philip's we call these CONNECT GROUPS.

We have three groups:
- Tuesday 7pm
- Wednesday 7pm, and
- Wednesday 8pm

Every week we get together. Our evening aims to last about 90 minutes.
We spend time on 4 Ws:
Welcome: connecting with each other
Worship: connecting with God
Word: connecting with the Bible and applying it to our lives
Witness: connecting to our community

The aim is to connect with each other and grow fellowship, with God in worship, with the Bible connecting yo our daily lives, and our community through prayer and outreach.

We've steadily seen the numbers grow, and others expressing an interest, so we're open to launching additional groups. If you would be interested in either of these or want more information, please contact us.

Small groups are an essential aspect of church life - groups for growth as Christians. We would love to see everyone at St Philip's in a small group, sometimes called house groups. We call them Connect Groups because we hope to connect with God, with the Bible, with each other, and our world.

Come and try it!
