Our annual Habitat giving campaign will run throughout September. Habitat coin banks and giving envelopes are available in the sanctuary foyer and church office.

Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona
Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona is, according to their website, “a Christian, non-profit organization, committed to providing affordable housing opportunities to families of modest means. Habitat partners with people of all faiths, religions, beliefs and backgrounds in order to help provide a hand up to others.”
As many of you are aware, Lakeview United Methodist Church has supported Habitat for Humanity in the West Valley for a number of years. Through our missions giving and volunteerism we have assisted in providing dozens of affordable homes to less fortunate local families. To continue to support Habitat’s efforts, this year’s giving campaign will be during the month of September.
Beginning Sunday, September 1 traditional Habitat for Humanity giving “houses” and envelopes will be available in the foyer of the sanctuary. The houses are designed as coin banks to collect any loose change, etc. you may wish to give during the month of September to assist the less fortunate with affordable housing alternatives. Feel free to take an extra one for family, friends, etc. All donations will be due back at the church Sunday, October 6.
