First United Methodist is supporting Faith for Fifty in an easy and generous way this summer: pocket change from parishioners will help build the Faith for Fifty home, giving a local family a more loving and stable future. From the bulletin:
FILL THE HOUSE!
Starting on Sunday, June 23, there will be a Plexiglas house in the Narthex. Throughout July and August we are invited to that house with our loose pocket change (although dollar bills will fit through the slot also!). The proceeds of filling this house will go to the Iowa Valley Habit For Humanity "Faith For Fifty" build which will be starting in September. This will mark the 50th home that the Iowa Valley Habit For Humanity has started and we will be joining with other area churches in supporting this build. Our goal is to raise $2000 to contribute to the overall cost of $70,000. So, throughout the summer, please add your loose pocket change to the house and FILL THE HOUSE!

Welcome to Faith for Fifty
This landmark 50th home for our affiliate will be built by area congregations joining together in faith. "Faith for Fifty" celebrates Habitat for Humanity's roots as an ecumenical Christian organization. We welcome our community of faith partners to this project that will be a memorial build for Gary Pierce, one of Habitat's founding Board members and a longtime contributor to the affiliate and to our community.
