Xariz Family Worship Center held a Back to School party in the parking lot at 81 E. North St. in Bethlehem Aug. 17. Festivities included face painting, a coloring station, a D.J., a raffle, and a bouncy house. Children were given backpacks (while they lasted), bags filled with school supplies, and snacks. There was also a station of shoes and clothing for children and adults. Volunteers from the worship center staffed the stations, and made sure every family knew what was being offered. There was also a raffle of more supplies for the children. Pastor Wanda Felix called the raffle winners, commenting in both English and Spanish.

The worship center also holds food giveaways at the parking lot; contact Pastor Wanda Felix for more information at info@xfwc.org.
