MILWAUKEE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY’S

“House Raising Week”

July 12-16

     A team of Immanuel members and friends will put themselves to work again this summer building safe, decent, affordable homes in the city of Milwaukee during Habitat for Humanity’s “House Raising Week,” July 12-16. 

     Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is a great way to serve the community, learn new skills, AND get to know other Immanuel members and friends.  Habitat homes are constructed almost entirely by volunteers, who work side by side with partner families while they complete their “sweat equity” hours. 

     Habitat volunteers must be at least 16 years old.  They may sign up to work for one day or all week, but must work full days (8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.).  Previous experience is not required, but people with building skills are encouraged to volunteer.  If you are interested in being part of this team, please contact Jean Dow in the church office (414-276-4757). 

     On Thursday, July 15, Immanuel Church will host a dinner for all of the hard working Habitat volunteers.  If you would like to assist in planning, preparing, or serving this meal, please contact Ms. Dow. 

    The "Spotlight on Mission" is a monthly column that appears in Immanuel's newsletter "The Tower Chimes."  The "Spotlight on Mission" highlights Immanuel's efforts to reach out in the community and the world through hands-on mission work and giving.
