LDS Community Service Project



Yesterday was just one of those community service projects that our church got involved into. Our church annualy participates in community service projects that involves helping schools put up their picnic tables, pain them and plant and prune trees. Others will go to somebody's home and help them paint their house or any organization or family or individual who needs help. We all bring our own tools to do the work. I invited my nephew Alex and explained to him that we will be planting, putting pine straws and barks at the River Trail Middle School in Johns Creek, GA. We had fun working. We started at 9AM and finished around 11AM.

My nephew learned how to use the shovel and proper procedure in planting when the soil is full of clay. I was so happy to see him participate at this kind of activities. I hope he did understand the value of true service. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing people smile and sincerely express their thank you for a community service.

Our church globally, at the same day, reach out to those in need at least twice a year. We are better known as the Mormons. But the real name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
