THRIVENT BUILDS WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY UPDATE

The June work day for Temple Lutheran was cancelled due to delays in preparing the site for work. The site is now up and running, and updates (and a lot of pictures) are online at http://www.blogger.com/. Sign up today for Temple Lutheran's next Work Day on Saturday, September 20th. Volunteers needed for both the work team and to provide support (child care, make/deliver lunch, make cookies, etc.). Sign up today via email to pastor@templelutheran.org.

Volunteers are needed for Saturday, August 2 and on most Wednesdays.
Interested volunteers can contact Joseph Troyan at http://www.blogger.com/. This is an extra opportunity to volunteer on a one-time (or more) basis in addition to the Temple Lutheran work day.
