• Improvement Fundraising

  St. Philip's Lutheran Men are asking other organizations within St. Philip's to plan a fundraising endeavor to bolster the Improvement Fund.  There is an ongoing need for this fund; just recently, the HVAC unit in the Fellowship Hall was replaced at a cost of approximately $6,000.  As has been brought to our attention previously, our property is aging and must be maintained.  

  Please give this a high priority and consider a fundraiser.  If you choose to do so, please coordiante with the Lutheran Men by contacting Don Kunkle.
