Spring Festival in Castle Rd Neighborhood
Saturday, April 25 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
We threw a big party last October in in Betty's back yard for the folks that live in this neighborhood off Walkup Ave in Monroe. It was a great time. We brought together a diverse group of people to serve this ethnically diverse neighborhood. We encourgaed hearts with God's love. We gave away free groceries and clothing. We served free hot dogs & soda. Some painted faces, some tied balloons, some played music and sang, but we basically showed God's kindness and love to people.
Well it is time to do it all again ... only BIGGER. We would love to make it a real festival and have things like clowns, jugglers, sketch artists, magic tricks, moon bounce, games, prizes, pony ride, petting zoo, more diverse music, anything we can do to brighten the day and show God's kindness to this neighborhood.
What we need people who will ...
1. Pray for the success of this outreach.
2. Help plan and make it happen.
3. Lend their specific talents and connections to the effort.
4. Donate financially to help pay for the party.
5. Solicit sponsors for prizes and gifts from Monroe area stores, restuarants, etc.
6. Speak spanish and relate to non-english speaking residents.
7. Be there just to help out where needed.
We want you and your local church to be involved. It is a great opportunity for families, small groups, large and small chruches to come together and serve in such a way that people are drawn by God's love to Christ.
