Your continuing financial support
during the "lean" off-season summer months is vital to St. Raphael's. This month our cash flow is facing challenges with some summer maintenance expenses:  
Roofing repair
Tree trimming and maintenance
AC replacement for the chapel
Misc. interior drywall, painting, exterior gutter work
Advance payment for propane gas for the upcoming season

Please contact Warden Ross Miller, any Vestry member or PIC Jean Hite if you have questions or can help with these projects.

Your continuing financial support is greatly appreciated!
