Meet three beautiful members of St Philip’s congregation. Wonderful to realise that they are the fourth generation of their family to be part of the St Philip’s family…No matter what your age, all are very welcome to join them on a Sunday….

For a church to grow, you need to have new shoots…well St Paul’s are certainly raising some active new shoots, thanks to Janice Butterworth who is currently running our Sunday School.

How wonderful it is to praise the Lord in a song. St Andrew’s music group, leading worship with joy on a Sunday.
