Love the City

On Saturday, a couple of dozen Christ-followers from three local churches descended on the Barrie Kozlov Mall with a very simple goal in mind: Love the City.

People who came to the mall had the doors opened for them, were given free candy canes, and were wished a Merry Christmas.
2,500 Candy Canes were handed out! Each candy cane had a card attached that pointed people to the Love the City website where they can find out more about area churches.







The event organizer, Tim Maassarany, had this to say about people's reactions:


"It's funny how no one expects anything to be free anymore... It was amazing how many people asked if we were collecting donations, or why we were handing out free candy canes. It was hard for some people to accept that they were free, and that was really cool."

Showing people the love of Christ through simple acts of kindness and service will help our light to shine for Him! Stay tuned for more Love the City events that you can get involved with!
