Nobody loves a good worship service more than I do, but we are called to make religion real, to make our faith come alive. Helping others have a decent place to live is one way to do that and it doesn't take too long for others to recognize it, too.

Churches are the primary partners that work with Habitat in an almost infinite variety of creative overlapping circles.
