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. Much of the work includes building handicapped ramps, mowing lawns, and cutting down and trimming trees and bushes
“We are followers of Jesus and Jesus says that this is how that all men will know you are my disciples. If you have love for one another. We believe it’s one thing to say you love someone but it’s another thing to get out and show it. Work Camp for us is an opportunity to do just that. We save up year round to be able to buy the tools and supplies we need and for one week in June every year we go all around the county and we do what we can to make DeKalb County a better place. We do it to show this community what it means to love Jesus and be loved by His Church,” said Jonathan Anderson, Youth and Associate Minister.
