Outreach Begins in May

This year our first outreach will be held at the block near Ravina Park in South Bend.  We held a block party-style outreach there last year and this May we're going back!

Our team is getting ready . . . we have our organizational meeting the end of March - then we hit the streets in May!!

Two weeks prior to the outreach, we will walk the neighborhood inviting residents to come and be a part of this community block party.  We'll pass out flyers and let people know we just want to bless them!

So many times we encountered those that can't believe anything's free.  That's when we have the opportunity to share some Good News with them.  This can be as fun as the outreach itself, although there's a lot of work . . . which we couldn't do without volunteers.

 We have truly been blessed with great ministry partners and co-laborers that love people!!

There have been multiple churches, organizations and ministries represented at these events which has been so good to show the community we can come together in peace.

It's great to know even businesses have joined us in these efforts - a local dentist's office came out last year & gave out free tooth brushes, tooth paste & yep, candy!!!  It's not a party without people, there were about 300 people last year    

came to enjoy the festivities, but also had their lives changed forever.  When we can come together regardless of color, background or economic status - it just shows there's something different happening here.

Free food, fun for the whole family - that's what we like to set the environment for . . . from face painting to free books - there's something for everyone!

Also, we have live music, who doesn't like music?  Especially when it's good!!  The band, Soul'd Out will play & we have a special singer, Leigh Prathaftakis.

Looking forward to the smiles and assisting those that are in need . . . See you there!!!

The block party will be on Saturday, May 16th at 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on Lebanon Street, between Broadway & Indiana.

We'll pass out flyers on the two Friday's before the outreach.
