MANASSAS, Va. – On May 25, 2014 at 8 a.m., 60 Virginia and DC World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) members will team up with Birmingham Green to help lay out the landscape around its centers, paint the interiors of the centers, and spend time with the senior residents.
Birmingham Green is comprised of residential and health care facilities that provide assisted living and senior care services to those with limited resources. The Church of God members from DC and Virginia have been serving Birmingham Green throughout the week and are even more enthusiastic to volunteer this Sunday. During this courtyard-landscaping project, volunteers will plant flowers, lay down mulch, sow plants and install garden boxes for the center’s seven courtyards. Simultaneously, another group of volunteers will help paint the interior of the facilities while another group dedicates quality time to the senior residents. Once this project series is complete, the members plan to do a mass cleanup of the facilities.
