Emanuel Lutheran Church Fundraiser for New Ramp
The Emanuel Lutheran Church of Skandia congregation is fundrasing for a new ramp. They hosted a “Plants, Pies and Summer Buys” sale, where plants, pies, and household items were donated and sold.
An auction is also on the cards, with tickets available now for a November event featuring a quilt made by a church member.
Christie Johnson, a member of the congregation, shared that the church plans to build an indoor ramp for better accessibility in their 120-year-old building. “This building we’re in now was added on. That’s why we need the ramp. There are steps going down right now, and we want to make it accessible to everybody,” she explained.
Although a few thousand dollars have been raised, more funds are required for the ramp’s installation. To contribute, reach out to Emanuel Lutheran Church at 906-942-7245 or emanual@tds.net.
