Each year the St. Philip the Deacon Foundation partners with the Ornburg Family to give one scholarship to a graduating high school senior. The St. Philip the Deacon Foundation Ornburg Scholarship is given in memory of Cortland and Gladys Ornburg by their children and grandchildren, one of whom was Cortland (Cork), who passed away in 2018. He was a beloved member of St. Philip the Deacon, and we are grateful to his wife Margaret for her continuing stewardship of this scholarship.
This year’s recipient is Sarah Piepkorn. Sarah is graduating from Wayzata High School and is heading to Gustavus Adolphus College to study nursing in the fall. Sarah has been an active participant in St. Philip the Deacon’s high school ministry, bringing her steady joy and excitement to our weekly gatherings. Sarah also brings her enthusiasm on Sundays, helping with Sunday School and serving in many other ways around St. Philip the Deacon. We are excited to see her continue to live out her faith. Gustavus is lucky to have her!
