Arkansas Church Group Lends a Helping Hand

A group of 12 students from Arkansas on March 18 and 19, 2008 spent their spring break working to improve the Lakewood community.

The college students could have spent their spring breaks in the traditional way of going to Florida or some other warm destination partying, but they chose to volunteer their time and work with Lakewood’s Cross Point Church here.

The students painted the inside of the skate house in Lakewood Park after the work was coordinated by Gail Higgins, who works with the Lakewood Dept. of Recycling and Litter Prevention.

Members of the church volunteer time and energy to promote God’s word and to help improve both physical appearance and the feel of the community.

The church holds services at the Harding Middle School at 10:00 a.m. on Madison Ave. in Lakewood. www.crossptchurch.com
