Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity

In 2006, Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County was awarded two full home sponsorships by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The project began at the begining of 2006 and was completed in the summer of 2007. Thrivent Builds unites Habitat for Humanity, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, local Lutheran Churches, future homeowners, volunteers and many more for the purpose of building decent affordable homes with those in need. We are so proud of our efforts by local area congregations for our SUCCESS in 2007! Join us as we move forward in 2008! Contact Beth Adams to find out how; b.adams@habitatbucks.org or 215.822.2812 x305.

Thrivent matches Lutheran Church
The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection recently collected a 5th Sunday offering to benefit Habitat Bucks and used the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans matching program to maximize their contribution. Following a brief presentation on the Habitat mission, $1200 was raised in donations! Thanks to Thrivent, that will become $1600 towards our mission. We are grateful to Sandy Mullican, who organized the presentation, and to all the members of this congregation for their support!

Sucess in 2006!
Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County and Thrivent Builds joined forces in 2006 to provide two homes for worthy Habitat Partner Families. With the support of our local Lutheran Community we made a difference! Thanks to all who supported us small or large!

Support + Participation
Thrivent Builds encourages the local Lutheran community to participate by helping to build, donating money for materials, providing lunches at the work site for hungry construction volunteers and praying about the Habitat mission. The following congregations have provided support in our efforts in 2006! We look forward to building our team as we try again in 2009!
