Mark your calendar for Friday, August 25, when representatives of more than ten local churches will sponsor Family Night at the Park. The event, to be held at the Gettysburg Recreation Park, will feature free food (food trucks will also be on hand), live music, vendors, vintage cars, skateboard demonstrations, a Fire Department display, face painting, and other youth activities.
Folks seeking a Christian message or prayers will also find volunteers ready to assist. The event will run from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m.
According to Bruce Rowland, a member of the organizing committee, “Family Fun Night in the Park will provide a wonderful and uniquely Gettysburg event demonstrating the love of Christ through an incredible array of family-friendly activities.”
The event has been held each year since 2014 except for a pause during the pandemic. The event has become an annual ecumenical event involving support from and participation of a growing number of local churches.
