Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church

Shepherd of the Hills is one of the local area Lutheran Churches who is currently building a Habitat for Humanity house in Lady Lake.. The house is sponsored by Thrivent Financial (a Lutheran non-profit insurance company.) Thrivent contributes about 70% of the cost of the house, Habitat for Humanity contributes about 25% and nine Lutheran churches in Lake County contribute about 5%.

One house in Leesburg was completed in early April 2007 and the one in Lady Lake is currently under construction.

The schedule for March 24-31 is listed below:

March 24 -- Work on site to be decided. Temporary site manager. Work may consist of roof decking and possible interior wall construction and installation.
March 25 -- Work on site -- continue as above.
March 27-29 -- Work on site. Tasks to be determined based on progress.
NOTE: TO ENTICE YOU TO VOLUNTEER, COFFEE AND DONUTS ARE SERVED EACH WORK DAY AND LUNCH IS SERVED ON SATURDAYS.

Directions: Head North on Route 27, turn left on Griffin View (Japanese restaurant is on the corner, Sunoco Station is on the right side). After you turn left, turn left again on the very first turn. That will be Spencer' s Lane. Just follow that winding street and you will eventually see the build site on your right. There is a big Thrivent Build sign and Habitat tool trailer there. Any questions, please call Carolyn Schrimer at 352-326-5996 or e-mail at cnas57@usa2net.net. She is our local Thrivent Builds Specialist and can answer any questions you may have.
