HSP x SHP
1 Peter 4:10 “Each one should use whatever gift he/she has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
This year Highland United Methodist Church’s Highland Service Project is based at Highland constructing beds for children in our area in partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), continuing our commitment to service in our community. Our goal is to build 30 bunk beds!
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is an organization that specializes in building beds for children in our area who are without beds. This fantastic ministry provides the lumber, tools, supervision of construction, mattresses and box springs, and delivers the beds to the families that are in need. You can read and watch all about the process by clicking HERE.

How can you help?
Volunteer
Adult volunteers can sign up for as many shifts as they are able. These days are broken up into shifts. You can work three hours one day or all four days fully.
We are in desperate need of adult volunteers to fill out these spots for the week.HSP 2021 Adult Shift Sign-up
Is it hard manual labor? Will you need experience?
No. All work being done will be tasks that require very little training and following instructions on the bed building and delivering. This is a church-wide service project and the whole church family is welcome to participate, ages 12 and up.
From HSP Camp tasks to SHP building beds or delivering beds, there is a job for everyone of any age.
Give – Sponsor a Bunk Bed
You can team up with a Sunday school class, other members of highland, families, friends, anything. Each bunk bed is $400. This includes all costs from lumber to mattresses to sheets. Your gifts will immediately change the life of a child in our area. Help us reach our target of 30 bunk beds for our week-long build (yes, $12,000)!
