The ‘Hyde Park Blast’…come see us!
If you get the chance to visit Hyde Park over the July 4th weekend, you’ll probably catch the action on the square. There will be running races in the early morning hours, and the bicycle races and block party in the afternoon- all happening on Saturday- July 1st.
Our church, the Hyde Park Baptist Church, is strategically located on the finish line for the bike races, on the corner of Erie and Michigan avenues. There is always a crowd gathered along the sidewalk and on our lawn to see and cheer the racers. We will provide spectators and racers with free water, and we will be handing out other goodies as well. We plan to pass out child I.D. kits to parents of small children, and also doggie treats to owners of dogs (hungry dogs).
These little things that we can do are designed to reach out to our community and perhaps to connect with some people who may be looking for a church or that have spiritual questions. This is just one small way that we can reach out and share God’s love with everyone we meet.
When is the last time you reached out to share Jesus’ love? Have you ever received Jesus’ love for yourself? We invite you to stop by and sample it on Saturday!
