• Chrismas in July

  We have enjoyed our present manger scene for the past seventeen years. Time has taken its toll and it is now time for a replacement. The cold of winter and the heat of the summer storage have caused irreparable damage to some of the manger pieces. WE and the community have enjoyed this Nativity greatly. Now, it is time to replace it. The Worship & Music Committee has researched the market for this replacement. We would like to take advantage of a quality nativity scene during the off Season while it is on sale. This 39-inch fiberglass manger scene was $4,295 and is now $2,795. The shipping cost is $275 for a total of $3,070. The church Council has given their unanimous support of this purchase. We are making a congregational appeal for the purchase of this new nativity scene. The goal of the Worship and Music Committee is to have this new nativity scene funded by July 31. If you could donate, please mark it: Improvement Fund Nativity Scene. Thank you for your support!

• Lutheran Disaster Relief

  The Lutheran Disaster Response is responding to the needs of those affected by the severe winter storms and subfreezing temperatures in Texas. To help, mark your envelope “Lutheran Disaster Response,” and make checks payable to St. Philip’s. We can reflect Christ’s light and hope to our neighbors in their time of need. Thank you!

• Nursery Roll

  The Educational Ministry Committee would like to support the re-establishment of the Nursery Roll.  The purpose of the Nursery Roll is to support parents in growing their child's faith by providing Biblical materials as the child grows from Baptism until the child is three years old.  The committee has purchased the materials for the program, but we need someone to coordinate the program.  If you are interested in being responsible for mailing these materials and other reminders of events in the church to support their child's faith, please let Lorianne Riggin know.
