Summer Block Party
Friday, August 20, 11:00a - 3:00p
Dave Hall Plaza – Downtown Dayton
(Main & Jefferson/Fifth & Fourth Streets)

This will not come as a surprise to anyone; the city of Dayton and the surrounding community have been on the receiving end of bad news for some time.  But recently it has been compounded by the exit of major industries and an uptick in crime. So in true Gathering form, being the place "where grace & people meet”, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus; as others walk out, HE walks in. 

Please plan to join us for our first city-wide block party in downtown Dayton on. We will have face painting for children, music and water bottles to hand out. This is not only a simple act of kindness, but an introduction to God's love shown in tangible ways. Want to help with any of the listed activities? Come to pray and be a friendly face?  Send an email to: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
