On June 7th Pastor Dan, Pastor Ron, and David Vojta worked with a team from the Waukesha area installing fiberglass insulation and plastic sheeting. The work was hot, sticky, and itchy but we had a blast. Check out the following pics.
We want to thank Scott Herrmann our local Thrivent representative and the regional Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity coordinator Chris Stelzer for making us aware of this opportunity to serve others in Jesus’ name.
