Habitat Volunteers Needed
|
We are required to provide 40 volunteers for each of the 8 build days. This is the area where we have fallen short in the past. We are asking for your time on one Saturday, during the eight day build, and you may want to consider organizing a small group of friends or co-workers. It is also a great way for the youth to earn service hours. Absolutely no skills required! There is a job for everyone and you can choose the function most comfortable for you. This is not an exclusive All Saints project, all are welcome. Please
signup online
or contact Jane & Mike will at
habitat@allsaintsdunwoody.org
. Volunteer sign up will also be at all Masses on August 12th and 13th.

“Whoever eats of this bread will live forever.” John 6:51
Jesus’ words in the Gospel make clear what he asks of us: an eternal commitment. As stewards, we care for others because they are our brothers and sisters for eternity. Our care, compassion and love are signs that we have eaten the bread of life and intend to share that life with others, forever.
