Jim Smith and Charles Coble recently attended the organizational meeting of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Raleigh’s Fall Apostles coalition. Be on the lookout for more information about volunteer opportunities (construction or meals) in fellowship with members of CUCC and other local churches this fall. Some facts about Habitat’s partnership with congregations in our community:
