Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit ministry founded on the conviction that everyone everywhere deserves a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.  Habitat provides an ecumenical place for people of different faiths to take united action for a common cause.

Personal faith is not the motivating factor for all Habitat volunteers.  People come to the work - and stay to help - for myriad reasons, and all are welcome.  But throughout its history, Habitat's mission has been based on the idea that we serve God by serving others.

Prayer Requests

Prayer Prior to Clergy Build

God of compassion, in recognition of World Habitat Day, we ask that you look after the many volunteers who come together in your name to help those living in despair, by building safe, affordable homes and lifting up in them a renewed sense of hope.  You have blessed us with many talents, riches and spirit.  Please inspire us to use these gifts to engage our hands to do your work.  Amen.

Prayer After the Clergy Build

Oh Heavenly Father, you teach us to care and love our neighbors as ourselves. We ask that you look after the many volunteers of Habitat for Humanity Choptank, who in your name come together to help our neighbors in Dorchester and Talbot Counties searching for safe, affordable homes.  Through these good deeds, we lift up our neighbors in need, giving them a renewed sense of hope.  Please continue to bless us with the many talents, riches and spirit used to continue your work.  Amen.
