“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” is a saying that most of us have encountered at one time or another. This well worn cliché figures prominently in those parental truisms that grubby children easily ignore and as one precocious but dirty little kid once remarked, “But didn’t Jesus play with dirt?”(c.f. John 8; 9:6). Well – I would like to renovate this phrase theologically to promote the new M-4 Project which involves demolishing and renovating the bathrooms at a local camper park in Carpinteria that is run by a fabulous local organization - Peoples’ Self-Help Housing (www.pshhc.org). This is a down-to-earth project that will involve financial support but more importantly our own time and talents as all four congregations provide volunteers to perform the actual construction work. During the month of February, every Saturday from 9-3, we will be needing workers to help rebuild the bathrooms, paint, clean the grounds, and offer hospitality to workers and residents. You don’t need to have strong skills in construction work (though we are happy to have them) because there will be a variety of jobs for the skilled and those, like myself, who are unskilled but willing. I invite you to come and be a part of God’s work in our community as we seek to give recognition and respect to those whom Jesus loves.
More information will be forthcoming but if you would like to sign-up as a volunteer in advance please contact Jon Lemmond, Pastor for Gospel Action, jonucsb@yahoo.com or 259-8450.

Good dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
It is useful to try everything in practise anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)
