MOUNT VERNON – Area residents are invited to join together as one community to praise God and share his message as Praisestock returns to Ariel-Foundation Park, Schnormeier Event Center on Sunday, Aug. 21.
Praisestock 2022 is directed by a board of directors representing six sponsoring churches and others. The six sponsoring churches include Apostolic Christian Church, Covenant Church, Grace Community Church, Owl Creek Baptist Church, The Salvation Army, and Set Free Ministries.
“Praisestock is a collaborative effort from local churches coming together and inviting the local community to join us in a day of celebration, worshipping our Lord and serving others by helping support Food For The Hungry,” said Ben Staats, chairman of Praisestock board of directors. “Together we can feed the soul and feed the person.”
The event begins at 10 a.m. with a community worship service. Four churches – Grace Community, Owl Creek, The Salvation Army, and Set Free Ministries – have committed to holding their traditional Sunday service together and invite those of all denominations, or without a home church. A love offering taken during the service will be donated to Food For The Hungry for its 2022 food drive. Contributions will also be accepted to support the ongoing ministry of Praisestock.
From noon to 6 p.m., bands and worship teams will continue the worship event. This family-friendly event will include children's activities, food from local vendors and more activities and opportunities to learn about Praisestock, sponsoring churches, Food For The Hungry and some of the programs receiving funding. Look for more detailed information to be released soon.
