Watermelon Festival! August 9 turned out to be a scorcher - a hundred degrees in the shade - but the temperature didn't keep the crowds at home. Second Church's tent in the middle of the street was busy with children having their faces painted while workers handed out Sentinels. The issue dealing with Spiritual Healthcare for Children was very popular. We had some interesting discussions, some of which continued inside the Reading Room for quite a while.Also inside the Reading Room, a large group of college-aged visitors visited and asked lots of great questions about Christian Science. Other first-time visitors expressed interest in finding out how we are different from the Scientology group headquartered just a block away, and we found we were able to clear up many misconceptions. Being a part of the Carytown festival is a wonderful way to open the Reading Room doors and bring us into the street with our fellow businesses. A few pictures follow!
