Corona Virus
As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to affect us, our usual pattern of services and opening has been suspended.
We have had to make the decision to close both our church buildings during this third national lockdown, for the health and safety of everyone. We are currently meeting for online worship at 10:30 on Sundays on our facebook page :

Giving
St Philip's Church is a generous community, and your generosity funds our ministry and mission. The simplest way to give to our work is through the Parish Giving Scheme.
Signing up is very straightforward. Through your prayerful commitment, we get a regular, tax-efficient source of income which has the capacity to increase with the cost of living, yet involves virtually no administration for us. The system is secure, confidential and easy to use, and free to you and us, supporting our church today and for the future.
If you are interested in finding out more, please don’t hesitate to contact our curate Rob. If you would like to sign up, click on this link or call the PGS team on 0333 002 1271, quoting Halton St Wilfrid’s parish code of 460 646 276
