Thrivant Builds – Habitat
for Humanity
The Birmingham area Lutheran churches are teaming up again for a
Thrivent/Habitat build project, and First/Emmanuel has adopted this as one of
our outreach ministries. This will be the third consecutive year of our
involvement. The first build date is scheduled for April 18th. This project is
scheduled to be an eight week build, so the last build date is scheduled for
June 6. Most work days are on Saturdays. The build schedule will be posted on
the board in the back hallway, as will a profile of the family for whom we are
building this home. We are asking our members to give this ministry their
prayerful consideration, and we are looking forward to having more volunteers
this year. If you are not able to help physically, we can also use your
financial support. If you have any questions, please contact Toby Cahill.
