August 5th
Inaugural “Back to School” Family Block Party
At the Walter-Bradley Park (next to Northside Elementary)
On August 5th, we will have our inaugural “Back to School” Family Block Party. The intent of this event is to provide a family-friendly social event for anyone and everyone in the Midway area, so please invite your friends and neighbors. We want to provide everyone with one last “Hurrah!” before school starts that week. Also, this is a great opportunity for everyone to see Midway Baptist Church active in our community; hopefully, we will meet some new people that are interested in getting to know us more.
Starting at 5:00, at Walter-Bradley Park, we will be grilling out and having fun with our Midway friends and neighbors. The church will provide the meat and drinks; we are asking everyone to bring a side dish and/or dessert. Don’t forget to bring a lawn chairs or blankets for your family along with balls, Frisbees, kites or anything else you have for such an event.
Here is a list of all the planned activities: two Bouncy Blowups for kids, snow cone and popcorn machines, four carnival games and table top games, face painting, balloon toss and live music from our very own Praise Band!
You will not want to miss this event! Please come and bring a friend!
