On June 24th Mystery hosted a block party for the church and the neighborhood around where we meet. Numerous people spent the week walking the neighborhood, meeting our neighbors and inviting them to come join the fun.
Local businesses gave away prizes, we had kids games, basketball, horseshoes, live music and tons of food. There were balloons, air guitars, sun, inflatable monkeys, puppies, babies, grandparents...too much excitement for one day! It was a great time for Mystery.
We saw over 100 people come by the park that afternoon.
Some simply for a free meal, others to see what the hype was about.
There were people from the neighborhood, folks from Mystery and friends of Mystery. It was great to meet so many new people and bless our neighbors with no strings attached.
The Food was great as usual and the mission of loving our neighbors was at the for front of our minds. I really think we were the church that day, young and old, rich and poor, gathered for the purpose of extending kindness to the community. We are already excited about the next one.
Thanks to everyone who put in so much effort to pull this off. SUCCESS!
