Thrivent Builds and The Moore Family

From 2011
On Sunday, July 17th, Messiah Lutheran Church was visited by Frank Childs from Thrivent and the Moore family.  The Moore family is the owner of the Habitat For Humanity Home that members of Messiah helped construct this year. We have been blessed as a congregation by the opportunity to get to know and work with this awesome family.  We are also thankful for the leadership and support provided by Thrivent.  We can't wait until next year's habitat build.

Here are some pictures from this year's build.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a Fortune 500 financial services organization that offers financial products and services including life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, disability income insurance, bank products and more to its nearly 3 million members. Thrivent Financial sponsors national outreach programs, notably its alliance with Habitat for Humanity. Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity seeks to increase Habitat's capacity to build more homes and promote donations, volunteerism, neighborhood development as well as worldwide homebuilding trips by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans' members.

Habitat for Humanity International is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat and its homeowner families have built or rehabilitated more than 400,000 houses. A nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing ministry, Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build together in partnership.
