“In my Father’s House there are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go and prepare a place for you?” John 14:2
 
As we celebrate the joy and wonder of the resurrection, we look forward to Jesus’ return and our welcome into the Father’s eternal house. But Jesus makes it clear that we are to do more than simply wait. We are to be active in caring for others.
 
We have folks, right here in our community, who need a place to live. Not in the sweet by and by, when we die – but today. Habitat for Humanity does that. These are homes for people in need, rooting them in a community with a helping hand – not a hand out.
 

We have an incredible opportunity to be a part of the Habitat for Humanity ministry. Trinity has participated in constructing 5 homes in the past and this year we have the chance to work on 2 more. Thanks to Thrivent Builds, Lutherans are coming together to build two homes in Gwinnett County this year.  The first was completed this Spring and the second is underway. Our site workdays for the second house are August 11, Sept. 15, and Oct 27 We need 10 people each day. 

You can volunteer to help by contacting Jac Saul, 770-381-7723, jsaul@ibahn.com. Should you want to help, but can’t do so on these dates, contact Jac for more possibilities. You must sign up to help, because we need to coordinate the number of people we have on the site.

Thrivent Builds House
 
Trinity partnered with the Gwinnett County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Gwinnett County Habitat for Humanity to build a home at 470 Cottonpatch Road, Lawrenceville.

What is Thrivent Builds Homes?

Through Thrivent Builds Homes, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will sponsor the construction of hundreds of additional Habitat for Humanity homes every year in the United States by combining the efforts of 2.8 million Thrivent Financial members with Lutheran congregations and institutions, communities, partner families and Habitat affiliates. More than two-thirds of the funding for each home will be contributed by Thrivent Financial, its members and local chapters. The remaining funding will be raised through the ongoing efforts of local Lutheran congregations and Habitat affiliates.
Thrivent Financial is committed to helping its members show their care and concern for others. Since 1991, Thrivent Financial and its members have worked with Habitat for Humanity to build more than 500 homes, raise more than $25 million and contribute more than 1.4 million volunteer hours in homebuilding time. Besides the unprecedented level of financial and volunteer support this new program will bring to Habitat for Humanity, what makes Thrivent Builds Homes different than these past efforts is the new era of collaboration between the two organizations. With Thrivent Builds more homes can be built in less time than was possible with past programs.
In addition, all Habitat affiliates tithe (that is, take 10% of funds raised) to support building Habitat homes in other countries. Tithing from Thrivent Builds Homes contributions will allow up to 500 additional homes to be constructed around the world.
