On Sunday, September 29th, volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God in Cerritos, Los Angeles, Orange County, and Torrance united together to host the 8,339th Worldwide Cleanup Campaign in the city of Artesia. A total of 70 volunteers participated in this cleanup with bright smiles, willing hearts, and the mind of servitude.

Volunteers joyfully traversed down Pioneer Boulevard, between the cross streets of 178th and Arkansas Street, filling trash bags with litter and plastic waste products that pose a great threat to the community’s environmental sustainability. The majority of trash collected was found near the 91 freeway on-ramp/off-ramp and around the underpass which is frequented by pedestrians.

Due to heavy traffic flow and inconsistent street maintenance, the area was susceptible to trash buildup. However, the volunteers took the lead in displaying servitude and bringing a sense of comfort and safety, especially for pedestrians.

Many passers-by expressed their support by honking their horns and sharing words of encouragement and appreciation to the volunteers. Not only did the volunteers dedicate their time and efforts for this cleanup to be efficient and successful, but they also supplied the cleanup materials and rented a U-Haul to properly dispose of the 25 bags of trash collected.

The year 2024 marks a very special milestone for the Church of God as we celebrate the 60th year of the establishment of the church, as well as 60 years of dedicated volunteerism to embrace the global community as our own family. Volunteers of the Church of God genuinely follow the example of Christ to share love with their neighbors. They do so by carrying out numerous humanitarian efforts that aim to achieve the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to spread happiness to all humankind with Mother’s love.

The Church of God was invited on Oct 14, 2024, to the city council chambers in Artesia, CA to be presented with a certificate for their efforts in beautifying the city. The mayor himself proclaimed and congratulated the Church on its 60th anniversary.
