Rockford Church Host Alley Walk for Missions
ROCKFORD, IL (September 6, 2003) - Bethesda Evangelical Covenant Church will
host its 21st annual Alley Walk from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on September 20th.
The free event will be held on the grounds adjacent to the church in the
2100 block of East State Street in Rockford - neighborhood garages are
used to sell used items and antiques, among other things.
More than 80 crafters are signed up for the Alley Walk and seven food
vendors serving hot dogs, donuts and other treats, along with
entertainment and children's games. WQFL-FM radio's "Breakfast Bus" will
be on church grounds from 1 to 3 p.m. that afternoon. The Christian
radio station is based in nearby Loves Park.
Proceeds are primarily used for various mission projects and individuals
that the church supports.
The church has some parking available at its facility, with additional
parking at the Rockford Plaza parking lot near the local Salvation Army
Building on the corner of Rockford Avenue and Charles Street. A shuttle
will run throughout the day from that lot to the Alley Walk.
