Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity - Twice a year members of Saint Peter's Church work alongside new owners constructing their homes in Newark. One example of the work involved in this ministry is a trip
to the Central Ward to paint and put aluminum siding on several homes. A great sense of accomplishment is derived from bringing homes closer to completion. You don't have to wait for the next outing to participate. You can help out anytime.
