Habitat for Humanity Huron County News
Habitat for Humanity Huron County is planning on building a house in Clinton in 2011. This will be a single family dwelling. In the fall of 2010 we will be advertising to make our intentions know to the general public. Over the summer months we ask you to think of families that are in need of better housing, and are willing to partner with Habitat. Our goal is to eliminate poverty housing in Huron County by offering a "hand-up" and not a "hand-out". In the fall, when our application process starts, please encourage these families to apply for this opportunity to own their own home. If you want additional information, or application forms, please call our office at 519-612-1612 or write to Habitat for Humanity Huron County, P.O. Box 453, Goderich, N7A 4C7. Thanking you in advance for you help and co-operation.

Membership Transfer
We delight in the faith, warmth, and goodwill that abound in our church on Sunday mornings and in all the other ongoing midweek groups and activities. Energy, empathy, and sincerity characterize our relationships – whether we always agree with each other is less important than that we are willing to engage with each other! If you have been a regular visitor at Clinton United for a while now and are contemplating joining our fellowship through profession of faith or membership transfer, we invite you to contact our minister.
