Christ Our Hope Bible Church (COHBC for short) will be hosting a party in their parking lot [map] on Sunday, August 26 from 6 to 8:30pm. It’s the church’s first event of this kind. And if it goes well, it’s possible that there will be many more.

There will be live entertainment, fun activity booths, and food. Singer/songwriter Eric E will be laying down electro-acoustic grooves, and magician — sorry, illusionist— Matthew Light will amaze and astound with his legerdemain.

You don’t have to be a member of the church to take part. In fact, you can come from any religious or nonreligious background. The point of this Parking Lot Party is to give people in the neighborhood a place to come together and socialize. COHBC has already become a big supporter of Emerson-Garfield by hosting garage sales and events like this one, as well as taking part in other neighborhood-wide events.

COHBC could use more volunteer help for this parking lot party. If you’d like to offer a hand, please contact Bob DeLateur via e-mail or at (509) 893-8644.
