Week 3: Cleaning the Church

^"Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing;
and establish a house, ... a house of order, a house of God..." D&C 88:119

Every 3 months at church we are asked to volunteer to help clean the church. We decided to use this as our third week of service. (I didn't get any photos though.)

Saturday morning the family arrived at the church at 7:30. We started by cleaning the glass doors. We made sure all the chalkboards were erased. We dusted in the chapel and made sure all the hymn books were in their holders. And we cleaned the mirrors in the bathrooms.

It is wonderful to see the girls taking pride in the way our church looks.

It is such good feeling to be in the church alone. I can really feel the Spirit. I feel that cleaning the church gives us a better respect for the building...knowing it is the House of the Lord.

Sienna said, "It made me feel happy to clean the church. My favorite part was cleaning the chapel."

Haven said, "I liked cleaning different parts rather than just cleaning the windows. It makes me feel good to keep the church clean."
