WALDORF, Maryland — Members of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) conducted an Adopt-A-Road activity in Waldorf, Maryland on November 3, 2018.
Armed with litter pickers and enormous colored trash bags, members of the Church’s Waldorf congregation walked about three miles of the parkway stretch, clearing the roadsides of thrash and litters.
The clean up was held on the chilly Saturday morning and set against a backdrop of fall colored trees that line the sides of Western Parkway.
From the corner of Western Parkway and Berry Road to the intersection of Acton Lane and Western Parkway, the volunteers left the roads litter-free in only a span of a little more than an hour.
Adopt-A-Road Program is a project of counties in the states of the United States that aims to keep the roads clean and attractive.
Various congregations of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ), including those within its Ecclesiastical District of Mid-Atlantic 1 wherein the Waldorf congregation belongs,  play an active role in this program.
Members of the Church started participating in the program’s clean up drive in 2010, shortly after they were created as a local congregation. The congregation has since held the activity three to four times a year, making sure their adopted road stays safe, clean and beautiful.
