Treasurer’s Report

The financial condition of St. Philip’s continues to be narrowly within budget.  It is extremely important for pledges to continue to send their commitment to the church through the summer months. 

Facilities – Barbara Lyon

· The heating and air-conditioning has been serviced and repaired for the upstairs offices.

· Two work days will be scheduled in August for the repair of the back fence.

· The Parish Hall roof will need repair again for two new leaks.

Settled Vicar

As hopefully we all now know the Reverend Mary Blessing is St. Philip’s settled vicar.  Praise the lord for this long arduous process is now complete.  Get ready to welcome in September our new vicar and her husband, Jim.
