Calling the Faithful


"Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:15-16

Are you a member of a Cheyenne area Christian congregation? If so, Habitat for Humanity is asking for your help.


On Saturday September 28 we'll bring together 100 volunteers of faith for a day of fellowship, volunteering, and showing love and kindness to some of our neighbors in need.


The Unaccompanied Students Initiative's facility on W. Fox Farm needs a sound abatement fence to quiet the roar of I-80. (Learn more about the need here). We'll be installing that fence, along with other projects to brighten the lives of the homeless students they serve. While we're at it, we'll also do a number of projects for Safehouse Services, including prepping garden beds for next year and creating "dog friendly" spaces for clients who have pets.


There will be projects for volunteers of all ages and abilities, check out the full list and sign yourself up, or get your bible-study group, church committee, youth group, or mens or ladies group together. Sign up now HERE


Together we'll show what is possible when people of faith come together to work in His name.

PUTTING OUR FAITH INTO ACTION

DATE: SEPTEMBER 28, 2019

TIME: 9AM-1PM

LOCATION: 910 W Fox Farm Road, Cheyenne


WHAT:

This September, Thrivent and Habitat for Humanity are partnering to provide Building on Faith events around the country. These events will make an immediate impact on local housing and community needs. Volunteers participate in a variety of projects including: building a noise abatement fence, repair projects, cleanup, blessings of homes, landscaping, and more. Gather your friends, family and church members and visit https://www.cheyennehabitat.org/day-of-service to learn more and to sign-up.

Thrivent Financial is a fraternal membership driven company that serves Christian investors. Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent have enjoyed a fruitful partnership for many years, sharing similar values based in Christian beliefs. Habitat for Humanity of Laramie county is humbled to have been selected as a 2019 Building on Faith affiliate.

Sign-Up to volunteer during Building on Faith

Step-up and make a difference in your community. Building on Faith events are being planned across the US and across our region to address housing needs. Visit LiveGenerously.com/BuildingonFaith to learn more and be a part of the action!


What if I do not belong to a Christian congregation and want to help?


Habitat for Humanity of Laramie County works with volunteers of all faiths (and non-believers as well!) But for the purpose of this day of service we have been tasked with gathering people of faith who attend local Christian churches.


Partners in Habitat for Humanity projects, such as home building and Habitat Repairs projects are selected based on need, never on religious affiliation. Habitat for Humanity believes in a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
