Dozens of people from the Smithville Church of Christ are rolling up their sleeves and pitching in to help show their Christian love for others during the congregation’s annual Work Camp being held through Thursday this week.
The church began the work camp a few years ago as a means of helping less fortunate residents of the county do some fix up and cleanup projects around their homes.
“It’s a ministry of the church where the folks in our congregation raise money all year to be able to go out in the community and do odd jobs for those that just need help. Its for folks who are elderly or those who have limited resources and can’t get other people to do things for them. We do that. We pressure wash people’s houses, cut up tree limbs, and do odd jobs. One of the things we found that we have been able to have a ministry with is building handicapped ramps for folks. We have five ramps we’re going to build this year for those who can’t do it otherwise. They are in a wheelchair and need help getting in and out of their house. It’s just a ministry of the church,” said spokesperson Casey Midgett
