But . . . backpacks, supplies given away today at Center Point Church from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Hot dog meal served free to all
According to Pastor David Savage, “We are going to have to cancel Kids Fest 2016, and give away supplies and backpacks from from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., tonight (Friday, August 12), at the Center Point Church.”
Center Point Church (formerly Mountain Lake Assembly) began holding Kids Fest celebrations in 2008, and this would have been their 9th special day just for kids, preschool-through-6th grade.
An integral part of the day, however, will be saved as the hundreds of backpacks – stuffed with all the required school supplies – are presented to students tonight at the church located south of 3rd Avenue between 8th Street and 9th Street, just kitty-corner southwest of Mountain Lake City Park.
In addition, FREE hot dogs, chips beverage will be served to all who come to the church this evening.
“While Center Point is honored to put on this event each year, we could not do it without the generous support of many local business and community volunteers,” explains Pastor Savage. “Our church focus this year is ‘Love Comes First’ and we want each kid that comes to Kids Fest to know how much they are loved as a valuable child of God.”
Center Point Church, with the generous support of many local business and community volunteers, provides this special event each year out of a heart-felt love for the children of our community. “If we are going to believe in a bright future for our community and our nation, we must invest the next generation,” says Pastor Savage.
