The heat in Bedford-Stuyvesant wasn’t enough to stop Bethany Baptist Church from hosting a block party Aug. 26.
The church, in tandem with NYPD Community Affairs and the National Action Network, brought this event to Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Brooklyn with a rock climbing wall, bounce house, food, music and a book stand.
Even witth all of the fun activities for the families and people of all ages that attended, health and safety was still a main focus. COVID-19 vaccinations were available..
With a push from Bethany Baptist Church to get more of the community vaccinated, they are set to resume in-person services at their location on Sept. 12.
