Lutheran Coalition Habitat Project

The 2019 Lutheran Coalition Habitat Project has begun! The Wall Build was on September with the Wall Blessing Ceremony at the construction site at Augusta Landings Subdivision on Westinghouse Boulevard, Raleigh.

St Philip will participate with other Lutheran Churches in 2019 constructing houses. Our workdays are:
Saturday, 9/21 We need 7-8 build volunteers.
Saturday, 10/19 We need 7-8 build volunteers and volunteers to provide lunch for 40 people.

The two construction dates can involve any aspect of construction from placing trusses, walls to painting or landscaping. It depends on what is needed for the day. Habitat provides water, snacks, bathroom facilities, tools and safety equipment. If you wish, you may bring your own tools like framing hammers or aprons etc. Register to volunteer and/or to donate here Questions—contact Mark Glass mark.glass@gmail.com or Julie Helmey Jhelmey@earthlink.net

Here are some pictures from the first workday, 9/7/19.
