Members of the Smithville Church of Christ will be rolling up their sleeves and pitching in to help show their Christian love for others during the congregation’s sixth annual Work Camp scheduled for June 10-13.

The Work Camp is an annual home rehabilitation/beautification project organized by the Smithville Church of Christ.

“It is a chance for us to show the love of Christ as we give back to the members of our community who have needs that they may be unable to meet themselves. We complete a variety of different manual labor tasks, anything (except for electrical work) from yard work to building handicap accessible wheelchair ramps for shut-ins,”said Youth Minister Jonathan Anderson.

If you would like to have your home considered for the project pick up an application, fill it out, and turn it in at the church by Friday, June 7.

Applications are available for pickup at the Smithville Church of Christ, First Bank, and Wilson Bank.
