NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!
You may become a member of the
St. Philip's even if you were not baptized in an Episcopal
Church. If you are not baptized, simply contact The Rev.
Gloria Payne-Carter at 716.833.0442, and she will connect
you to the next Confirmation Class leading to baptism. The
Confirmation Class is a good way to learn more about the
church even if you do not want to be confirmed in the
Episcopal church at this time. All are welcome to attend!
Unless the LORD builds
the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless
the LORD guards the city,
the guard keeps watch in
vain (Psalm 127:1 NRSV).......

WE
HAVE A PLACE FOR YOU
Find your niche among
the many exciting and rewarding ministries, small groups and
programs of St. Philip's.
Today, a variety of beautiful and
committed groups and programs exist at St. Philip's. Much of
the real ministry of our church exists in small clusters of
commitment and prayer. We are guilds, study groups, mission
councils, demographic groups, prayer groups, committees, and
classes. Each of these groups has a different function; but,
together, we comprise the living body of St. Philip's
Episcopal Church.
St. Philip's encourages all members to be a
part of a group, whether by volunteering for outreach
projects, or attending a class. It is through fellowship
that we develop relationships, and through those human
relationships we grow closer to God. Our myriad programs and
fellowship groups provide wonderful opportunities for being
in a relationship. Fellowship can be strictly social, as is
the case with some groups, but it can also be a combination
of social, service and study components. St. Philip's
invites you to explore the options and know God through
community.
