ST PHILIP'S Church in Westbrook is celebrating its 25th birthday this week and a special service on Sunday will mark the occasion.

The church was built in 1981 and at 10.30am the congregation will reflect on this with an all-age service.

Dennis Andrus, who produces The Philipian, the church's weekly newsletter, said: "St Philip's is 25 years old this year so we're going to celebrate with a week of events, ending with a special service on Sunday, followed by a scrumptious lunch!

"There will be old and new friends to help the family of St Philip's to give thanks to God and to have some fun."
