St. Philip's Lutheran Church

Lutheridge Day Camp was a huge success.  St. Philip's many volunteers made possible a Christian Camp experience in a safe, fun, and enjoyable environment. A special thanks to the Lutheran Men, the WELCA, and the many, many volunteers. The counselors continuously remarked how loving and caring the members showed.  

We are in the process of creating a photo church directory. We are asking that you provide a photo and update your contact information via an online form using the QR code provided in the church bulletins.  The goal is to get this project completed by the end of the year.  The photo directory will be printed and one copy per household will be provided.  If you need assistance with providing your own photo, the Committee will be setting up dates after church soon to assist and double check your contact information.  If you have any questions, please let Bonnie Frick know.  Thanks!
