NEW BEGINNINGS CHURCH AT BATAVIA HOLDS BLOCK PARTY

New Beginnings (formerly the Batavia Church of the Brethren) held it annual All Church Block Party on Sunday the 12th of July. The street in front of the church was closed for the day and games and music and food were served up for all. All of the churches neighbors within several blocks had been invited and many came. Beginning right after morning worship and continuing until late afternoon, games and prizes for the children, hot dogs, hamburgers and a pot luck of salads and desserts for the adults, with music and entertainment for all were the order of the day. The pastor, board members, and deacons were there to meet and greet the neighborhood and a number of good contacts were made. A fine time was had by all, simple fun and fellowship for a neighborhood.
