The City of Litchfield Park, in partnership with the Avondale Police Department, has notified us that our church parking lot and entire campus must be closed on the evening of Wednesday, July 3, beginning at 5:00 PM. This is in support of the city’s annual “Sparkle in the Square” Independence Day celebration.

This year, the fireworks will be launched from Scout Park, which is just behind our property. Due to safety concerns and road closures in the area, the Avondale Police Department has asked that no one be on church grounds during the event—this includes the parking lot, sidewalks, and any part of the campus. We kindly ask all members and visitors to honor this important safety boundary.

That said, we warmly invite you to join the city celebration! Sparkle in the Square is a cherished community event with:

• Food carts

• Face painting

• Family-friendly fun and festivities

• A spectacular fireworks show to cap off the evening

Bring your lawn chairs, gather with neighbors, and celebrate the gift of freedom together as a city. 

We look forward to seeing you downtown—happy Independence Day!

As we head into the holiday weekends, we want to remind you that we’ll be moving to one combined worship service at 8:30 AM on the following Sundays:

• Sunday, July 6 – in observance of Independence Day weekend

• Sunday, August 31 – in observance of Labor Day weekend

This adjusted schedule allows our church family to worship together while also giving space for rest, travel, and time with loved ones.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
