A great day in the park with OACF all-free fun day

 

[June 23, 2021] 

Families enjoyed a day of food, music, fellowship and fun hosted by Open Arms Christian Fellowship on Saturday.

Once again, a full day of food, fellowship, music and fun - all free - were offered in Scully Park in Lincoln.

While temps were rather warm on Saturday, the shade of the park and a slight breeze made a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy all the activities. The park was filled with fun things to do from agility activities to bounce houses of various sorts including water slides.

Young families and teens hung out and visited throughout the park. This event was a kids-of-all-ages delight and every parent's dream of a safe, fun, no expense day in the park. Kids could win prizes at tossing games and whole families were getting coordinated face paintings. What waiting lines there were, were short and relaxed. So, it was a no, to little stress day for all.

The stage was populated with various Christian music artists and there was plenty of tented seating to enjoy performances.

Many people made a trip to the food stations before meandering over to listen to live music.  Others just put a blanket on the ground. There were lots of choices of fresh grilled meat sandwiches, fried fish, snacks, chips, snow cones, and cotton candy, and drinks.

Open Arms Christian Fellowship reaches out to the community throughout the year with Holiday fellowship meals and special events at Halloween, Easter and Thanksgiving.

Members were greeting and serving throughout the park on Saturday.

The church was established in Lincoln in 2007 with its express mission to be "A Spirit-filled, Bible-believing, praying church, committed to living the Greatest Commandments and fulfilling the Great Commission."

Worship takes place at 813 Woodlawn Road, next to the Chi restaurant, and can be found online https://oacflincoln.com/.
