Apostles Build 2012
The second annual Apostles Build began with a Slab Blessing and Wall Raising Ceremony the second week of November, 2011. The Apostles Build is a Habitat home in which 12 (or more) Christian Churches, each one representing an apostle, not only fund but build the home as well.
The following churches are partnering with Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity on Apostles Build 2012:
1) First Baptist Church and Primera Iglesia Bautista Hispana Churches of Port Charlotte
2) Holy Trinity Lutheran Church
3) Pilgrim United Church of Christ
4) First United Methodist Church of Punta Gorda
5) Port Charlotte Seventh Day Adventist Church
6) Edgewater United Methodist Church
7) Burnt Store Presbyterian Church
8) The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd
9) Port Charlotte United Methodist Church
10) Boca Grande Lighthouse United Methodist Church
11) Deep Creek Community Church
12) Faith Life Church and Deep Creek Worship Center
Abigail “Abbey” Houser and her Daughter, Raegen (age 6), are the recipients of this house. Abbey feels very blessed as she recalls the events that have taken place so far at her home…”they (Apostles Build Churches) have written blessings and messages on my slab, have written more messages and blessings on the first wall that was raised and will soon be hanging Angels in the Attic”. Several of the churches have sold paper angel cut outs, as well as Port Charlotte Seventh Day Adventist School where Abbey attends, to raise money for the Apostles Build Home. These angels will be hung in the rafters and attic before the drywall is installed.
The house should be completed by mid January with a House Dedication soon to follow. Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity would like to thank all of the Apostles Build 2012 churches. If your church is not participating in this special Faith Build and would like to have information or a Habitat Representative to present the information to your church Board or congregation, please call Shelly Shepard, Director of Faith Relations at 941-639-3162 or email her at: faith@charlottecountyhfh.org.
