Mission of the Month - Habitat for Humanity Lutheran Build
Ozaukee
Habitat for Humanity
Lutheran Build
Park Street Project,
Port Washington
This year, ground is breaking on four Habitat for Humanity homes in Port Washington; one of which is planned to be a Lutheran Build. Lutheran churches in Ozaukee County are working together to raise $50,000 in cash or gifts in kind, as well as seeking volunteers to build.
Every year, Habitat for Humanity provides affordable, quality housing to hundreds of people world-wide, all due to generous support from loving people. Please prayerfully consider helping to make this a reality in Ozaukee County. Monetary gifts can be made in cash or by check. Checks should be made payable to Ozaukee Habitat for Humanity. (On the memo line please write “Lutheran Build.”) You can place your check in the marked drop box at church, or mail it directly to:
Ozaukee Habitat for Humanity,
131 N Webster Street,
Port Washington, WI 53074
For more information about gifts-in-kind or volunteer service, contact John Orth at 414-331-2620.
Global Care Packages - Still 105 to go!
First Immanuel Lutheran Ministries has done an outstanding job on our Global Care Packages project. We have already delivered 483 bags to Orphan Grain Train to be shipped throughout the world. Since our shipment left First Immanuel, another 12 filled bags have been returned. Thank you for your generous response!
You may recall that we had a goal of 600 packages. All 600 of the green bags were either filled and returned or taken with the intention to fill and return. At this time, 105 of the green bags are still out with our members. We need to have them returned as quickly as possible. If you still have one of these green drawstring bags, bring it in! Let's get them sent on their way for the beginning of the school year for the child God has in mind to receive it.

Need More Storage Space at Home?
If you're looking for an easy way to get rid of some rarely used items that you're storing at home, First Immanuel may be able to help you. We're not renting storage space in our building, but we are starting a new fundraising ministry that will help you and your church. The ministry is called Project 12 Baskets and is named after the 12 baskets of leftovers gathered after the feeding of the 5,000. Project 12 Baskets will assist you by accepting your donation and posting it on an internet auction site. When your merchandise sells, First Immanuel receives the proceeds of the sale to fund some exciting ministries. Watch for more information about this innovative opportunity.
