Summerfest Outdoor Community Worship Service and Cookout

Sunday, August 24, 2025 at 9:30 a.m.

at the Thornapple Plaza

A special outdoor community worship service at Thornapple Plaza on Sunday, August 24,
will bring people together to raise money for the Hastings Food Pantry.

Churches of the Hastings Area Ministerial Alliance are hosting the 9:30 to 11 a.m. service in which
all offerings and donations made during the event will go to this important food ministry.

This outdoor community worship service has become a tradition.  It always takes place
during Hastings Summerfest and it raises funds for community needs.

The goal, Pastor Feighner of Green Street Church said, is to
“take worship outside of the church and to help the community.”

Organizers are encouraging everyone to come and bring their lawn chairs.
All who attend the worship service will receive free beverages and snacks.

After the service at 11 a.m., a free cookout for the community will be provided.
Those who are unable to attend the service are welcome to attend the cookout.
