This past Saturday in Waynesboro four area churches came together to celebrate in a local park. Oak Grove Restoration Ministries, Revolution Church, Saint James Baptist Church and Church on the Hill joined together to provide the community with a wonderful day of activities for all ages.

There were live bands, testimonies and the dance group Relentless added a lively worship experience. Choreographed by 23 year old India Eaves, the dance group included the young and the young at heart!

I had volunteered to help and was assigned to security, but the crowd was so nice that that amounted to floating around and helping out. I blew up some balloons, picked up some litter (there wasn't much) and talked with some really fine people. It was a taste of Heaven, as people from different churches and different backgrounds shared their life in Christ. You could see Imago Dei all around.

A nice picnic lunch was provided, and food for the spirit was offered as well. Pastor Chuck Balsamo shared his testimony and shared clearly how G-d has changed his life. That same Spirit I had seen in the little church in Santa Cruz, Bolivia filled that city park. Lives were changed as people turned to the Lord.

Kelly Thomas of Moment of Purpose Photography took these photos and has graciously shared them here.
