All Lindenwood members and friends are invited to join our 80+ plus volunteers in the Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis Fall Build at Trinity Park.
The Outreach Ministry Team has made our participation with Habitat a major priority. We initially anticipated we could provide 25 to 30 volunteers for the project along with a sponsorship level of $5000.
Because of the overwhelming response to our call for volunteers - more than 80 persons!! - it is necessary for Lindenwood to increase its sponsorship level from $5000 to $9000. So, whether
or not you can drive a nail, lay a shingle or hang sheetrock - you can help! By purchasing a piece of the house -- from a single shingle to a roll of carpet, from windows to a washing machine - you can make sure Lindenwood has a significant role in building a new home for Shelby County family this fall.
Please take a look at our display in the Grand Foyer and review the "price list" below. Invite your family, friends, Sunday School class, small group, etc. to join you and Help Build It! Contributions should be made to Lindenwood ChristianChurch and marked for “Habitat project”. We’re hoping to wrap this up by Sunday, Sept 12 as our first build day is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 18.
For more information or
to express your interest, please let Johnny Wray know. Thanks!

Give up one fast food or restaurant lunch per week during Lent and give the money you save to our Food for Families ministry.
This is the SAMSAL (Skip a Meal, Save a Life) program that you are familiar with, revamped for Lent.
One low to medium priced fast food meal per week (approx. $7) for the 7 weeks of Lent is only $49. If 99 people participate we will have all we need to finish the year of food packing ministry. Consider this for your physical health, spiritual health, and for the good you can do by this simple act.

While church members and friends were able to get the MIFA garden "raised bedready" and MIFA secured a good number of neighborhood folks to sign on as participants, MIFA has not been able to secure a master gardener or garden intern to oversee the project. The Outreach Ministry Team is grateful to Nancy Evans for her willingness to step in at this late date and salvage the summer growing season and plan for a fall season. Thank you, Nancy.
The site is on Estival Pl just off East, between CrumpBlvd and Vance. You can contact Nancy at
