Christian Bands Returning To GAR Park
Contemporary Christian bands and soloists will once again fill GAR Park with uplifting music and praise when New Life Christian Assembly of God presents "Hillstock 2017."
"Hillstock is a celebration of praise and evangelistic music and arts designed to lift up and promote the lordship of Jesus Christ in private and public settings," said New Life Pastor Rick Amendola.
The celebration begins June 28 at 7 p.m. at New Life Christian Assembly, 966 Main St, with a worship concert featuring the New Life Worship Team, led by Stacie Amendola-Johnson and various singers and musicians from the church.
The celebration continues outdoors June 30 at 7 p.m. in GAR Park, with performances by Christian bands, rappers, and soloists. The public is invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy the festivities.
The July 1 event at GAR Park is from noon to 5 p.m. and will feature live music, videos, rap, Christian bands and soloists, and a special puppet show for children. There will be many special activities including face painting, pony rides, dunk tank, snow cones, popcorn, hot dogs, refreshments, and a high striker, all for free. There will also be free raffles of items such as bicycles, school back packs, CDs and other items.
Sunday services on July 2 will be at New Life Christian Assembly at 10:45 a.m. (one service only) and will feature the Teen Challenge Choir from Brockton. Events conclude at 12:30 p.m. with an all-church picnic on the church grounds.
