On August 18, our church hosted the Third Street Community Festival. It is a back to school event we have each year. The city of Logan allows us to block off a part of Third Street. We had various carnival type games that kids could win tickets at and use to redeem for a toy of their choosing. We also live music, free food, a bounce house, and clowns that gave away candy and shared the good news of Christ.

As part of the Festival, we gave away over 200 backpacks, filled with free school supplies, to children in our community. Not only did kids in our community receive much-needed school supplies; they also had the opportunity to hear the gospel and learn about Christ.
