Young adults from four Seventh-day Adventist churches in the greater Maryland/Washington, D.C., metropolitan area recently organized and hosted their second annual Park n’ Praise event. The young congregants—representing the Seabrook, Metropolitan, Restoration Praise Center and Takoma Park (Md.) churches—host the event to provide food, clothing, toiletries, prayer and fellowship to 500 homeless individuals. The affair attracted more than 600 church and community members, as well as local supporting businesses, who united in McPherson Square Park in Northwest D.C. to enjoy the music, poetry and worship. There were also health check-up stations.
