Faithful at prison give an
offering for Habitat home
Just as stones provide a foun-
dation for a house built to with-
stand the elements, the men from
the Living Stones Prison Congre-
gation are offering their support
of the newest home being built by
Habitat for Humanity of Mason
County.
This new congregation has
dedicated its offering to the local
Thrivent Builds with Habitat for
Humanity project.
Living Stones Prison Congre-
gation is a congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America, housed in the Washing-
ton Corrections Center in Shel-
ton. The congregation's pastor
is the Reverend Eric Wangen-
Hoch. With the support of Living
Stones, all four Lutheran congre-
gations in Mason County have
joined in the partnership with
Thrivent Financial and Habitat
for Humanity to build a home for
the Bates family in the Shorec-
rest area.
People at the prison who par-
ticipate in Living Stones worship
together in weekly services and
take on other responsibilities of
the congregation. They chose to
send their offering of money gen-
erated by their employment at the
prison to Habitat because of its
mission to provide decent, afford-
able housing to families in need,
according to Wangen-Hoch.
With framing complete, the
Thrivent Builds project is well
under way. Joining with other
Habitat builders, volunteers
from Faith Lutheran and Mount
Olive Lutheran churches in Shel-
ton .have been providing their
time and talents on the work
.site, along with volunteers from
Christ Lutheran Church in Bel-
thir. Living Stones now joins the
other three churches in financial
support of this project.
Thrivent Financial has provid-
ed 65 percent of the cost of this
house, while the local churches
and the local Habitat affiliate
make up the difference. The fam-
ily provides 500 hours of sweat
equity, building their home,
which is the 14th home Habitat
has built in the county.
For more information about
this project or to volunteer, call
the Habitat office at 426-8134.
