Deacons

Habitat for Humanity Work Project

Mission del Sol Presbyterian has been and is an avid supporter of Habitat for Humanity. Past support includes dollars and many hours by MdS members helping on Habitat home builds in Mesa, Chandler, Tempe and Guadalupe.

The MdS Deacons Group is currently working with Valley of the Sun Habitat for Humanity on a plan that would bring a small group of churches together to pay for the material for a house and provide volunteers to build it. Habitat for Humanity would oversee the project and would provide the land and the family. The location would be in the East Valley with the planned start of construction being early in 2007.

We arranged with Habitat for Humanity to provide an opportunity for MdS members to sample and experience a day in the building of a Habitat House on Saturday, March 18. Over 30 people have signed up for this opportunity. We had the opportunity to meet Sandra has she worked alongside us on her house. The group that went had a great time and everyone indicated they wanted to work on more Habitat for Humanity projects.
