Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield is helping to sponsor a building project for Habitat for Humanity. The building is located at 133 Daniels Ave., in Pittsfield, Mass., with major funding provided by the Western Massachusetts chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The building is a condominium two-story duplex.  Taconic High School vocational classes are also participating in the project, which is tentatively schedule for completion by December, if not earlier.

To help sponsor the project, Grace Lutheran has committed to raising $1,000 and volunteering for two work Saturdays with a crew of six or more people. The first work event will take place Saturday, Aug. 2 and the job involves indoor painting. The second work event will take place Aug. 16 and the job involves indoor finish work and landscaping.

Members of the Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield community as well as the community at large are welcome to participate. Volunteers will meet in the Friendly’s parking lot by the turnpike entrance in Westfield at 8 a.m. both days to car pool up to Pittsfield. Lunch and water will be provided. Anyone interested in joining one of these work days, please call the church at 413-734-9268 or email the church office at contact@gracelutheranonline.com.

Once again, Grace Lutheran Church of West Springfield is helping the greater Western Massachusetts community by working to build a deserving family anew home in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity.

It’s not exactly a what you might think of as a local community, but it’s surely a part of God’s greater community and that’s all that matters. The project is located about 50 miles northwest of West Springfield at 133 Daniels Avenue in Pittsfield, Mass. Grace Lutheran Church has committed to work on the house on two dates this summer: August 2 for painting and landscaping and a second date in August for cabinets and more finish work.

Grace Lutheran is also part of a local Habitat for Humanity project taking place at 24 Cambridge St. in Springfield, in conjunction with Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity, and sponsored by Thrivent Southwestern Massachusetts Chapter 31034. Our committment is largely financial, but some of us have been active on Saturday mornings, spending hours painting and plastering with other Lutherans from local churches.

We hope to raise $1,000 for this project through our upcoming rummage sale and two coffee hours, Sunday May 28 and Sunday June 15. Prayerfully consider this worthy project.
