On Saturday, June 15, several members of Lafayette (Ind.) Church of the Brethren enjoyed a Juneteenth celebration held in Lafayette’s largest city park, with some friends from Lafayette’s Bethel AME Church.
The two congregations shared a booth at the festival. This was wonderful way to continue to deepen a relationship with the Bethel congregation, to express solidarity with Lafayette’s African American community, and to celebrate Juneteenth.
Lafayette Church of the Brethren is blessed to be in a relationship with Bethel that includes sharing Resurrection Day morning, a Summer Worship in the (same) park followed by a picnic, and weekly prayer calls and Zoom Bible studies.
To the glory of God, and our neighbor’s good!
