    Worship
    Worship at St. Philip seeks to embody the vision set forth in the Directory for Worship in the Presbyterian Church (USA):

Christian worship joyfully ascribes all praise and honor, glory and power to the triune God. In worship the people of God acknowledge God present in the world and in their lives. As they respond to God’s claim and redemptive action in Jesus Christ, believers are transformed and renewed. In worship the faithful offer themselves to God and are equipped for God’s service
in the world.

Our community gathers for worship in the sanctuary each Sunday morning at 8:30 and 11:00. Both services follow the classic order
for worship in which we offer our praises and confessions, remember God’s forgiveness and love, respond with thanksgiving and hope.
Then we are sent into God’s world with renewed commitments to follow in the way of Jesus Christ.

Additional midweek services enrich the seasons of Advent and Lent.

  
    Music  
    Music shapes our worship. Soloists and small ensembles
frequently lead the 8:30 service, while The St. Philip Choir
sings weekly at 11:00.		   Our bell choir, children’s choir, and youth choir also participate regularly. At both services the majestic Fritts organ lifts our hearts
and accompanies our songs.		    
    Children  
    Children of all ages are welcome to worship with their families for the entire service. Children and youth also regularly participate in leading our worship as acolytes and liturgists. We provide worship activity bags with age appropriate activities to enrich worship for children. The worship bags are available in the narthex on the way into the sanctuary.   We also offer a well-staffed nursery for infants through age 3
in Room 106 in the Education Building. The 11:00 service includes
a Conversation with Children and everyone is welcome to come forward. Afterwards, children age 3 - first grade may go with adult leaders to
Second Hour Sunday School in Room 105. Parents pick up and sign out children from 2nd Hour following worship.
