Habitat for Humanity Ecumenical Project 2006 –
Come join other members of Christ’s body as we
participate in this year’s Habitat for Humanity
Ecumenical Project. BUMC’s work day for this year
will be November 4th and our scope of work will
include painting of the doors and trim. In
additional to volunteers to work that day we are
also in need of a BUMC project coordinator and
special monetary offerings for this project. The
coordinator’s duties will include pre-work day
organization of the BUMC team and communication with
our partner church. If you are interested in being a
part of the team or leading the team, please contact
Jarrett Wallace at 678-231-2332 or email him at
jwallace@horizonc.com. If you feel led to give a
special offering above and beyond your normal tithe,
please do so by making your check payable to BUMC
and marking your contribution with “Habitat” in the
memo line.
