Block Party at GAR Park a Huge Success!
| There were over 1,200 that attended the July 22 Block Party |
| inspite of the rain! |
|
The party happened rain or shine. Far too much time, effort, money and planning go into one of these Block Parties to cancel because of rain. Besides having no where to store a tractor trailer truck of food, houseware and personal care products.
We started to set up @ 8:00 am in the rain, the party was scheduled for 11-2 .....at 10:45 am the rain stopped until 2:00 then it started to rain again.
It's amazing how God uses every opportunity to teach us something. As we stood in the down pour praying for it to stop I looked around at the hundreds of people who gathered early to line up to register. The rain didn't seem to bother them...they were used to dealing with the elements and having no place to go.
They had so looked forward to this day and there is no way we could have let them down. It was another reminder of the hardship that the low/no income have to face daily and the goodness of the Lord to provide such ABUNDANCE to remind us all of His great love for people and His heart to bless them.
A HUGE thank you to all the individuals, churches and business that donated time, money and resources to make it all happen!!
