Habitat is building a home on 418 E 7th St in Duluth. They are looking for people who would like to help out - in August they will be framing so we need some hammerers, September - dry walling, November - painting and finishing project by Thanksgiving. Our congregation has the opportunity to help out by having a volunteer step-up and be the "Champion" to coordinate helpers and/or a fundraiser for this event. They are in need of $4000 for the local support of this project. ($4K has already been raised locally) Thrivent contributes 65%, Habitat 25% and the last 10% locally. Anyone interested in helping with this venture, PLEASE talk to Carleen in the office.
