There was a mix of faith, fun and family-friendly activities at the Grace Lutheran Church in North Bellmore’s Harvest Fair last month. All day, community members were invited to stop by and enjoy a slew of vendors, featuring crafts, food, jewelry, handmade items, children’s-themed products and more.
Churches, like Grace Lutheran in Bellmore, host fall festivals to engage with their local communities. The fair was open to everyone, regardless of whether they are members of the church. The event served as a way to build connections, offer outreach, and welcome people into the church setting in a more relaxed, social atmosphere.
The fall fair last weekend appealed to all ages, with a focus on safe and wholesome fun.
Fall festivals at churches are a mix of community bonding, family entertainment, and celebration of the harvest season, often infused with a spirit of gratitude and giving. They offer a chance for people to come together in a fun, welcoming atmosphere — and that was exactly the case at Grace Lutheran.
