Building the House Saturday, April 28
We would like to see as many of Calvary Church’s groups as possible get involved in this activity - to come together in one location to participate in one project to change the lives of one Grand Rapids family.
Who? Everyone - small groups, affinity groups, Adult Sunday Congregations! There are jobs for all ages and abilities – supervising and helping in the children’s area, providing snacks and lunch, manning a first aid station, as well as the actual construction. What? Adults 14 and older will be involved in building walls and cutting and painting trim; elementary-aged children through 13 year-olds will create other projects for the family. When? Saturday, April 28, 8:00am-4:00pm
Where? Everyone will be together under one roof in a large warehouse. Why? “... and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 The tangible goal for the day is to begin construction on a home for a family in our community. But the intangibles include unity, breaking down barriers, strengthening relationships, building community, and the opportunity to show Christ’s love. How? Talk with your group, and sign up beginning in March!
Now What? Keep Serving! This house will be under construction for the next several months. What an impact you or your group could have on the family through continued involvement. Contact Joni at Habitat (774-2431) to sign up. There are countless other opportunities to serve in the Grand Rapids area. Visit the information board across from the Library outside of Fellowship Hall for ideas and contact information.
