SIGN–A–STUD CAMPAIGN
Sunday, August 23, 2015
at Condit Presbyterian Church
Each church is asked to purchase a building stud to have available after church service so attendees can make a donation and sign the stud which will be used in the walls of the Apostle Build IV home in Delaware county.
What is Apostles Build?
The word disciple comes from the Latin word for pupil or learner. Jesus chose 12 disciples as his closest associates. They traveled with Jesus and learned from him.
In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out the 12 on a mission. The passage goes on to list their names and calls then apostles. An apostle is someone who is sent on a mission.
In Habitat for Humanity Apostles Build project 12 apostle churches or coalition of churches are charged with assisting Habitat’s mission to provide decent shelter in partnership with families in need.
