Penn Fields is served by an active Christian parish church, based at St Philip's in Church Road (appropriately enough). A new church service was started in 2013 for midweek worship, with refreshments served before and after, see the web site for details. There is a contemporary service at 10:30am and a traditional service at 09:00am, both on a Sunday. The Christians in Penn Fields are very proud of the 150 year history of their parish and the many developments in schooling, teaching, recreation and children and youth work that has been undertaken. But the church is not content to rely on the past accomplishments, and strives to serve the needs of the local community as Jesus would want them to, every day of the week. |
