KOSCIUSKO — Christ’s Covenant Church in Winona Lake will host Wednesdays at the Park this summer.

The program began last year with four events. This year, the church will host six events throughout the community.

“We really enjoy hosting these events because we get to spend time connecting with people we don’t know,” said Jordan Weddle, director of children’s ministries at Christ’s Covenant Church.

At the events, parents and children can participate in games, hear stories and eat snacks. Some time is also spent doing Bible study.

“What I really look forward to most is showing people Jesus,” said Weddle. “And seeing families serve and volunteer is fantastic.”

Weddle stated that several people within the church have volunteered to help run the events at the parks.

“It’s neat to see families and individuals grow through these events,” said Weddle. “And it’s great seeing them interact with others. It really shows that in the end, we’re all brothers and sisters that show love to one another.”

The following events will take place throughout the community. If there is bad weather, the events will not take place, and they are not rescheduled. Each event will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

• May 30 — Winona Lake Limitless Park, Park Ave.
• June 13 — Kiddieland Park, Center Lake
• June 27 — McKinley Park, East Main Street
• July 11 — Ker Park, Market Street
• July 25 — McKinley Park
• Aug. 8 — Winona Lake Limitless Park

“These outreach events really take us outside of our church’s walls and allow us to show Jesus to our neighbors,” said Weddle.
