Services
of Worship
 Worship
is central to our life together — it is where the people
of St. Philip's, their friends, guests, and visitors gather
to celebrate their faith, express their joy, renew their hope,
rekindle their vision, and to prepare for the tasks ahead.
At St. Philip's
worship takes varied forms. Most center around the Eucharist (Holy
Communion), where bread and wine symbolize our unity in Jesus
Christ and our acknowledgement of His teaching and lordship.
Generally,
our services reflect time-honored and traditional rituals. Episcopalians
find in them a lively source of inspiration for living in the
world today — a rich convergence of art, music, scripture,
and the spoken word found worldwide in the Anglican community.

Invitation
to Holy Communion
Communion
(also known as the Eucharist) is a central feature of our worship,
a symbol of our "taking upon ourselves" the Spirit of
Christ - gaining vision, courage, healing, and strength to re-enter
our society as new persons.
At
St. Philip's, all people are invited to receive communion
— to be nourished by this outward and visible sign of something
that is inward and spiritual. It brings together the entire congregation
to share in a ritual rooted in the biblical account of Jesus'
last meal with his disciples. By participation in this act we
nourish the hope that we shall both know and do the work of Christ.
