As a congregation following Jesus Christ, we seek to open our doors to all who come, regardless of race, class, gender, disability, or religion; and to reach out in service to our neighbors, especially the poor and elderly.
As individual members of His family we seek to grow daily in the understanding and practice of our faith, and to care for one another as beloved brothers and sisters in Christ.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” – Matthew 11:28-30
We are St. Philip’s Episcopal Church located in Norwood, NY, a Parish of the Diocese of Albany. Our Bishop is the Right Rev. Jeremiah Williamson. We are in the search process for a new Rector. The Rev. Meigs Ross celebrates Holy Communion twice a month, and Brother Richard Matthias BSG holds Morning Prayer twice a month.
Holy Eucharist or Morning Prayer services are held at 10 a.m. on Sundays, normally on alternating Sundays. All are very welcome, and all who follow Jesus Christ are welcome to share Communion with us.
Our community ministry is Common Cents Thrift Shop, to provide clothing and housewares at very low cost, or at no cost in cases of great need. The Common Cents Thrift Shop has relocated to the Methodist Education Building on Harrison Street behind the Methodist church.
St. Philip’s offers a Community Luncheon on the last Wednesday of each month. There is no charge, but any donations benefit the Norwood/Norfolk/Raymondville Outreach. Lunch is served from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm.
