Spring Street Missionary Baptist Church is holding a picnic at Henderson Heights on Saturday, Apr. 20 that is free and open to the public.
There will be hotdogs and hamburgers to enjoy, as well as a bouncy house and face painting for the children, said pastor AnTori D. Brown.
The church is located at 511 Orange St., but Brown said Saturday’s event is a way to minister to the larger community.
“We get inside of the church and we want to stay there,” Brown said on Monday’s segment of The Local Skinny! Having programs outside the church building is one way to let people know “that God has fallen in love with them…our objective is to reach the masses by way of ministry.”
The community is invited to join residents of Henderson Heights, the corner of Beckford and Andrews avenues, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a day of fellowship, food and fun.
As revitalization efforts continue in the downtown area, Brown said he wants Spring Street Missionary Baptist to be a “beacon of light” in the community. “We want to revitalize our commitment and spirituality to God,” he said.
