Philip Graczyk’s time on staff at Hennepin Avenue UMC concluded on March 11 due to a recent restructuring in our Finance department.

Philip served in the Finance department for ten years, maintaining online giving functionality, assisting members and non-members with contributions, and working closely with volunteers to count Sunday morning donations. He was deeply involved in the pledge and giving processes, making him a familiar presence to many in our congregation. Philip also collaborated with Brian Seim to manage financial operations.

Beyond his staff role, he participated in the life of the church—attending the Men’s Bible Study, assisting with the parking lot fundraiser, and joining worship and brunch. We appreciate Philip’s years of service and the ways he supported the work of Hennepin Avenue UMC.

As we restructure, Susan Ross will now be tending the accounts receivable department. Susan has served in this capacity in three UMC churches in Minnesota. Please contact Brian Seim or Pastor Elizabeth with any questions you may have.
