HELP BUILD A CHURCH IN ADAMS
Ten years ago, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Mauston started holding worship services in Adams (about 30 miles south of here). In 2012, the Adams congregation called their own pastor. Now they are ready to move out of rented space. Construction on a church building begins this spring. You can follow their progress on facebook.
You can be a part of the project. All skill levels are welcome whether you have a background in construction or simply want to lend a helping hand. Builders for Christ is coordinating volunteers through WELS Kingdom Workers. For more information, visit kingdomworkers.com/volunteer.
