HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Apostles Build
This summer, we will be living into the vision statement we have developed after the vision retreat last fall. We will be partnering with other churches to build a Habitat Home a family in Atwater. People from within and beyond are church will be equipped to serve. There is a role for everyone from the skilled tradesman to the shut-in. People with no skill can show up on the job site and someone will teach them a new skill. People who cannot come can pray for the family and workers. They can also support through donations of food for lunch or money for the project. Our goal is to raise $4,000. We will be partnering with 8 other churches as well as Habitat. This can foster a greater unity and more effective witness for all the churches. We need that in a time there is so much division in the church.
