On 1st January 1996 the people of St Philips woke to find the church had been devastated by a massive fire. It took about four years to rebuild the church and this Sunday, 11th May, we celebrate 25 years of being back in the church. Join us at 11am to be part of that celebration.

Amongst all the drama of the Easter story, I often forget about all the mundane things that would have carried on, like as Jesus was arrested the room where the last supper was held would have been cleaned up. Today, between the Walk of Witness and vigil, we washed the towels from Maundy Thursday.
