Community Involvement Day

April 24, 2010 - Saturday morning brought several members of the Oxford United Methodist Church together to participate in a Community Involvement Day as part of the UMC's 'Change the World Weekend'.

The group met for coffee and a quick planning session at 8:30 a.m. and were then on their way the to Geo. Mitchell Park in Oxford. At the park, the group dispersed and began picking up trash and limbs in the area of the shelter, playground and picnic area. They made their way north toward the  baseball field collecting trash as they went.

The group made a clean sweep of the ball diamond and then progressed to the RV camp area and along the Frisbee course. A couple members of the group went on south to the the old baseball field and on to the pond, picking up trash and clearing limbs from the Frisbee course. One member of the group discovered what he thought was an old piece of rope - wasn't a rope... but a snake!

At the north baseball field, the group spent over an hour picking up rocks and broken cement, sweeping, and shoveling the dirt and mud from the bleachers.

From the Goe. Mitchell Park, several members went on to clean-up around the tennis and basketball courts, and playground at the old school west of the Church.

Members of the group were Pastor Eldon, Ronnie Maybon, Judy Vaughn, Sue & Dale Sheneman and Neal Rhynalds.

Thanks for an enjoyable time and an awesome job!  Together we can 'Change the World'.
