A day of celebration in Conestoga

Live With Purpose Church will hold the seventh annual Conestoga Fun Day on Sunday, June 11, at Safe Harbor Park, 5365 River Road, Conestoga. The event will begin with a church service and worship music at 10 a.m., followed by a slew of games and live entertainment before the festivities wrap up at 3 p.m.

Live music and a variety of activities will be offered throughout the day, such as pony rides from Spiritual Fruit Farm, a barrel train, bounce houses and an inflatable obstacle course for children. Several nonprofit organizations will have tables set up to provide information and meet eventgoers, including Safe Families for Children, the Conestoga Volunteer Fire Company and Good News Club. Participants of the event will also have an opportunity to sink a pastor from Live With Purpose Church in a dunk tank.

A free meal will be offered to attendees while supplies last, and the first 100 people to claim a free ticket will receive a meal from Cowboy's Chicken BBQ. After the first 100 meals are given out, the church will offer a lunch that will include a hamburger or hot dog, chips and a drink. Giveaways will also be offered throughout the day of the event and will include items that have been donated by local businesses. In the past, giveaways at the Conestoga Fun Day have included tickets to Sight & Sound Theatres and Barnstormers' games. At the event last year, Live With Purpose Church gave away 80 bicycles to children.

"This is our way to bless the community," said Shayla Henry, coordinator of the event and Live With Purpose Church's children's ministry director. "We started the event as a way to show God's love to people wherever they're at. You don't have to come to church to come have fun." The church asks that participants register online prior to the event. To register, search for "7th Annual Conestoga Fun Day" on Facebook.

Live With Purpose Church is a part of a network of churches affiliated with In The Light Ministries, and the church opened in Conestoga eight years ago. As a plant from the ministry, the church's goal is to connect with the local community through its programs and services. The church offers a children's ministry for kids from infancy to sixth grade, providing a youth program during Sunday church services. The Sunday youth program includes classes that are divided into four parts by age group: the nursery, preschool, lower elementary and upper elementary. During the program, kids complete hands-on activities together and discuss biblical topics. This summer, Live With Purpose Church will offer its first vacation Bible school for children in the area.
