Habitat for Humanity 2007

2007 was a great year for Central Lutheran and Habitat.  During the summer months, FUNdraisers were held in the homes of members of the congregation.  We had summer barbecues, ice cream socials, card-making classes and more to raise money to bring 5 Habitat volunteers from El Salvador to the U.S. to help build the Lutheran/Thrivent Financial Habitat House here in Yakima.  The fund-raising was a success, and all five of the volunteers were able to come to the United States for a week in October.  It was a special time for everyone - meeting and greeting the folks from El Salvador, working on a new home for a family in Yakima, and getting together for fellowship throughout the summer.

PLANS FOR 2008

A group from Yakima will once again be going to El Salvador to build at least one house down there.  They will be leaving March 29 and coming back April 6.  So far 10 folks from Central Lutheran and the Yakima community have signed up to go.  Some of the funds raised last summer will be used to build the house(s).

CONGREGATIONAL SURVEY

A congregational survey will be sent to all members of the congregation in April. 

 We need everyone’s input.  We cannot accurately determine the needs of the congregation 

if just a handful of members answer the survey.  Please take the time to fill out the survey, 

thoughtfully and prayerfully, so that your Congregational leaders can determine what kind 

of staffing will fit the ministry and mission of Central Lutheran Church.
