• 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.  
• WELCA Monthly Ministry

  The WELCA Project for the month is the Heritage at Lowman Home In-Gathering.  Items suggested are lotion, body wash, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, coloring books for adults, colored pencisl, ink pens, and note pads. Donated items may be left in the boxes in the narthex.  

  Thank you for your participation in this ministry.
