Beginning November 15 and using expert video and written study guides, the group begins a Christian analysis of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. As a Christian, Dostoevsky, often debated the existence of God, the role of religion in modern societies, and the consequences of class differences on the individual through his fiction. Preparation reading for the November 15 session is The Brothers Karamazov, Part One, Books I & II.

As a volunteer-driven organization, Habitat welcomes people from all walks of life to assist with building simple, affordable houses. No construction or building skills are needed. Work hours will be approximately 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on November 7. Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves and dress for a day of outdoor work. Teens and adults aged 16 and older are welcome to participate. Permission slips must be completed by an adult guardian for those aged 16 - 21. Lunch and drinks will be provided.
