Tentative Construction Schedule

Work on the foundations has begun and will continue throughout May.  June 7-14 the Methodist “Blitz Build” will take place, completing the one-story house facing the back street.   

June 16^th construction will continue on the house sponsored by area Presbyterian churches, the two-story facing E. Market St.  The walls, which are being pre-built by George Jr.’s industrial arts classes, are scheduled to be erected June 23^rd.

Construction will continue throughout the summer, with roofing expected to take place in the beginning of July, dry walling at the end of July, and interior and finish work after that. 

How to volunteer

If you are interested in volunteering for any of the construction phases, or any of the support teams (meals, children’s program, fundraising, etc.) contact Walt Johnson.  He can direct you to the coordinators for each team and phase of construction, who can tell you more about what is needed and when. 

Habitat Kids

Kids, you can get involved with the Habitat project too!  Trinity will be hosting Habitat Kids programs on Saturday workdays, beginning with June 28^th and July 12^th, 8:00am – noon.  Children will enjoy games, crafts, snacks, learning activities, and a visit to the Habitat worksite. 

Lessons will help us understand God’s call to us to help those in need and to respond to his love with action. (Habitat’s “Theology of the Hammer”) 

These programs are open to any children who would like to attend, and are especially geared towards providing an activity and childcare for the children of worksite volunteers. 

Register with the Trinity office ahead of time if you know your children will attend, or you can simply arrive the day of the program. 

Fundraisers

Quilt Raffle – Win a beautiful queen-sized Jacobs Ladder pattern quilt with blocks created by several local quilters, and longarm quilted by Mary Neitzel.  Tickets are $1 per ticket or 6 tickets for $5, and will be available in the church office.  Drawing will be held Labor Day, September 1^st.    

Donate Recyclable Aluminum Cans to “Stomp Out Poor Housing”
Bring in your recyclable aluminum cans to the decorated collection bin in Tait Hall.  Our Sunday School students will stomp the cans to make it easier to transport them, and the Habitat teams will bring the cans to the recycling station and collect $ for the aluminum.  We will be collecting cans throughout the summer.  Together we can help Stomp Out Poor Housing!
