MORMONS AND BAPTISTS CLEAN UP HOUSTON NEIGHBORHOOD
See https://www.newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/en...on-neighborhood

HOUSTON, Texas - Over 200 Mormon teens and youth leaders worked with their Baptist neighbors recently to clean up a downtown neighborhood. After an early morning gathering at the Sunny Side Missionary Baptist Church to get acquainted and receive assignments, volunteers rolled up their sleeves to spend the day beautifying Sunnyside. The area is an older neighborhood south of downtown Houston that has many vacant lots and homes in need of repair.

This is a great example for others, charity at its best. I know many groups that due clean ups on a regular basis.

There is nothing more rewarding than going out and helping others in a time of need for no pay. Doing work around a neighborhood to make it look better is just as rewarding. Some of the best things in life is things we do for little or no rewards.

I often wonder, that if God is more interested in what we do with our hearts and our hands and is less interested in what we profess to believe.

That being said, I have more respect for the Baptist or even the Muslim who is strong in his faith, then a member of my own faith who has abandoned it. I think we can admire those of other faiths as brothers and sisters, and not always look at them as different because they do not believe the same way we do.

Lets have more interfaith service and put aside doctrinal differences when it come to serving others.

It's good that two strong faiths in their own right merged together for the greater good of the community for that day.It sets a good example to others.
Last year we saw a group of LDS members painting a whole park section of fencing...it had been rusty for a few years, and they went out and made the difference to that community too, where the kids could go and see a brighter nicer looking park.
It can all only help, and more religions should 'take a leaf out of their books' too.
