Hey kids, it’ s Dad and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk about the Clifford family helping clean the meeting house. About once every 4-6 months, members of the LDS church get the opportunity to help clean the church. Since there is no paid cleaning staff, cleaning duties fall on the members. So for about an hour we swept and mopped floors, cleaned the bathrooms and emptied trash. Even Emma an Drew got in the action.
I really love this as it helps build respect for the building as we are one of the people who are responsible for its upkeep. Just think what wold happen if kids had to help clean their schools or rec centers? They would have a more respectful attitude if they knew that spills and messes- they would be in charge of cleaning.
