A Party With A Purpose


I'm fired up about the big Washington Gardens Block Party we have planned for July 11th.

Washington Gardens is a government housing complex where low income and no income families live. Times are tough, and the 200 families in WG are feeling it the most. The Elkhart Campus has identified this area as a place where we want to be - bringing life, hope, and love to those who need it most. Our Block Party will be a bridge building and trust building opportunity to connect with these families!

  • When: Saturday - July 11th, 4:00-7:00pm.
  • What: Cookout, games, inflatables for the kids, giving away boxes of food, giving each family a box fan (none of them have AC), and more.

How to Get Involved:
  • Sponsor a family: Buy a fan or buy a meal for $10 (do this at the "Block Party" display at the Elkhart Campus)
  • Volunteer: Stop by the "Block Party" display this Sunday for info on tons of places to help make it happen!
  • Be there! Bring the whole family and be a part of making a lasting impact in this community.

Buddy -

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your message last Wed night. I keep hoping to eventually see you on weekends from time to time. I know that kind of conflicts with your role in Elkhart weekends, but you really have brought a new , fresh voice to the Church. Just wanted you to know that.
