Block Party

Part of our goal as a church is that we want to be present in the communities where we live. We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus around our neighbors. Part of that begins with getting to know the people that live around us. I once heard a statistic indicating that in the 8 or 9 people who are your immediate neighbors (beside, across the street, back alley) it is most likely that most people know 1-3 of those people. It’s hard to be an incarnational presence of God into our neighborhood when we don’t know our neighbors.

As a church, we want to help you get to know the people that live near you, by inviting you to host a block party with your neighbors. We also want to provide some money to help cover some of the expense of buying hotdogs or hamburgers or drinks or whatever else you can dream up. Money will be available on a first come first serve basis and is available per block party not per person, so if you are neighbors with someone else who attends Fort George Baptist Church, be sure to team up to make this happen.

If you are interested in hosting, please talk to Brad Muller and fill out an application by Tuesday July 28. At the end of the summer, we want to celebrate what God has done in our neighborhoods so we would like to hear what your block party was like.
