February Habitat Build Day

Friends,

On Saturday, February 19th, at 8:45, St. Paul's parishioners (among them YAMs) will gather in the St. Paul’s parking lot to carpool to work at the Habitat Retail Store. Habitat for Humanity builds homes in partnership with those who would otherwise be unable to purchase a home. The ReStore raises money for these efforts and also provides inexpensive materials for those building or renovating their own homes.

As many of you may also know, there is a required form to be filled out in order to work. I am making that form available here. Just print out the form and bring it with you on Saturday. If you forget, I will try to have some forms with me at 8:45 AM at St. Paul's. Our official work time is the morning shift of 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. As a special treat this week, lunch is being provided for us by a Habitat Volunteer.

There is no cost (outside sweat equity) associated with this event. After we all arrive at St. Paul’s and get our paperwork filled out, we will carpool to the ReStore to work for the morning shift. If you already have paperwork on file, please feel free to meet us at the ReStore (1201 E. Main St.).

Yours in Christ,
Bob

P.S. We will not be lifting tiles or reorganizing wallpaper. Rather, we will be building wall frames for a house to be installed next week. I know that sometimes the ReStore is not as exciting for folks, especially when it seems like busy-work, but this week we will actually be doing a lot of good for a Habitat family in ways that we can immediately see and feel.
