In March and/or October we band together with hundreds of others from churches all over Cumberland County to help restore homes in a targeted neighborhood. We do small repairs, paint and/or yard clean up.
Operation Inasmuch Is . . .
a city attourney delivering lunches for volunteers all over town;
a retired Army officer roofing the house of a family he has never met;
a school teacher cleaning a shut-in’s yard;
a secretary sewing lap robes for nursing home patients and blankets for homeless persons;
a thirteen-year-old mouthing the words to a story about Jesus for a puppet;
a mother of three making Life Books for children in foster care;
fifth-grade boys placing door hangers adverising their church on 300 apartments
Operation Inasmuch Works Because . . . .
it is a fucused one day event;
it is a local missions project;
it is hands-on;
the cost is affordable;
it offers something for everyone
