National Ministries, on behalf of American Baptist Churches USA, will partner with Church World Service and its member denominations to rebuild homes for families effected by the June 2008 Cedar Rapids flood. This ecumenical build—“Neighborhood: Cedar Rapids”—will take place April 12-May 21.
Join us as we show the world how people of faith, working side-by-side, can make great things happen for our neighbors in need.
Volunteers are asked to arrive on Sunday, begin work Monday and leave for home on Saturday of each week. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age—no construction skills are required—but any knowledge of, or experience with, construction is appreciated. Skilled laborers, such as electricians, plumbers and carpenters are especially critical, along with skilled individuals who can provide leadership.
Volunteers are responsible for their transportation, housing and food. Space is limited—so be sure to register by the March 10 deadline.
For more information, call Victoria Goff at 1-800-ABC-3USA, x2449, or e-mail vgoff@abc-usa.org.
