Faithful Five for Aug. 23-24
Here’s my “faithful five” — five events going on in the faith community this weekend. If what you read below intrigues you, go check it our for yourself:
1. Fun in the park. Eastpointe Community Church’s SummerFest gets under way at 5 p.m. Saturday, in partnership with the City of Choctaw. SummerFest will be held at Choctaw Creek Park in Choctaw and feature food vendors, animals, a rock wall, inflatables, horseback riding and a battle of the bands. There also will be live music. Admission is free, but there is a $5 charge for all-day access to the inflatables.
2. After the break up. A free Divorce Recovery Workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Crossings Community Church, 14600 N Portland. Hot breakfast will be provided. Pre-registration is required, so sign up now. The workshop will be led by pastors Jeff Stewart and Ron Mahn. For more information, call 302-1293 or go to www.crossingsokc.org.
3. What do you know about Krishna? Oklahoma City area Hindus are celebrating Krishna Jayanthi, the celebration of the birth of Krishna, one of the greatest enlightened Hindu masters. According to Hinduism, Krishna was the eighth child of his parents Vasudeva and Devaki. Their first six children had been killed and the couple had been thrown in jail, but on the day of Krishna’s birth the jail guards mysteriously slept and the baby was able to be carried safely away. Learn more about Krishna at the Vedic Temple’s celebration at 4 p.m. Saturday at 3048 N Grand Blvd. For more information, call 833-6107.

The four-day event will conclude with a concert at 7:30 p.m. Earlier in the day — 10 a.m. — a talent contest will be held. For more information, call (918) 445-2400. Be sure to bring your own lawn chairs.
