MEMBERS of the Akure branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, on Thursday visited the Ondo State Community Health Centre on Arakale Road, Akure to carry out community service.

At the event tagged, Latter Day Saints All African Service Project, members of the church spent four hours to clean the centre and its environment, washed some dirty items, cleared debris from the gutter and re-painted the walls of the health facility.

The annual event, according to the spokesperson for the group, Ms. Kehinde Olusoga, is to provide community service to those in need and to also give church members the opportunity to participate in project that would benefit others.

She said, "In the past years, the church has carried out similar projects in the Ondo State Specialist Hospital; the Oba Adesida Market; the Orphanage At Oba-Ile; and the Ondo State Radio vision Corporation."

She explained that members of the church, led by the President, Nigeria Benin City Mission, Rev. Akingbade Ojo, helped to clean up and beautify the health facility.

Olusoga said, "The services rendered were clearing overgrown weeds, removing debris from the drainage, general sanitation exercise of the environment and painting of the outer walls of the health center.

"Our members had a good time serving their community because they believe strongly that when they are in the service of their fellow beings, they are only in the service of God."

Even though as an Atheist, I dont agree with most christian theology and doctrines but today I give my full support to Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints members for their solemly and voluntary community cleaning service. If and only other churches can stop exploiting mass savings or wasting week days to pray wastefully in church and emulate this activities, I as an atheist is not ready to believe in God but will work together with them and other religion in this country will see them as a lamp stand in the city at least, they might wish to follow the lead.
