A Little Bit of History
THE NEW TOWN AT SAINT CHARLES AND A NEW COMMUNITY CHURCH MAKING ‘COMMUNITY’ MATTER
COMMUNITY BLOCK PARTY, SUNDAY, APRIL 24 AT 1:00
Why has The New Town at St. Charles sold so many homes and attracted such a diverse group of people? Why do people flock there on weekends to walk around with their families, their dogs, and their strollers? Because people are ready to get back to the traditional neighborhoods! Where people actually know their neighbors’ names and so does the owner of the local farmer’s market, where more bicycles are used than cars, and where community actually matters.
This is what attracted Pastor Tom Simmons and Lakeshore Community Church to New
Town. Lakeshore is a new church that will begin holding services in New Town’s chapel later this year. “Our family would go out to New Town on weekends to look at our little plot of dirt and would see a hundred people walking around doing the same thing. NewTown is all about knowing your neighbors, so we figured ‘Why wait till we’ve actually moved in? Let’s meet our future neighbors now!” says Pastor Tom. So the small group of people who have banded together to start Lakeshore Community Church planned the first ever block party at New Town. Sunday, April 24, beginning at 1:00 p.m. at The New Town at St. Charles amphitheater there will be free food, a clown, face painting, games for the kids, but most of all a chance for people to meet their future neighbors! We hope that you can make it, too!
New Town is located off 370, taking the New Town Blvd. exit and going about 2 miles north. New Town will be on your right.
