The goal of the event is to unite Christians from different
denominations in offering Praise to the Trinity. While Christian
denominations have differences, we have a common ground in
God our maker, Christ our savior, and the Holy Spirit our might
and guide. Community praise and prayer can tear down strong
holds. Those who don't know Christ can get a glimpse of what
it is like to know freedom from sin and darkness. This event
takes place at the Maytag Bowl which is next to the popular
Maytag swim park.
We will have 4-6 groups performing songs in the afternoon of
June 15th. In between groups, we would like to provide the
opportunity for Christian non-profit organizations to give a short
description about their organization. They can also set up
tables at the back of the open air theater. We are also working
to have the local police department to have a community
display.
You have not heard of this event before because it is the 1st
Annual event to be held in Newton. CSMI
(www.CSMINetwork.com) has been sponsoring these events in
other states. I am a new regional director for CSMI and working
to get an example started in Newton to continue to expand to
other localities next year. The pro-life movement is dear to
CSMI, and several members have participated in events with
the pro-life movement and written songs for them.
We have been posting advertisements since the beginning of
the year in local gas stations and at the cowboy church. We
have plans to release a press release and send out invitations
to local churches describing the event at the end of May.
Whether you participate or not, we covet your prayers for good
weather, participants, and that God would be glorified.
