Second annual Fields of Faith event is this Wednesday

Students, parents and community members are invited to join thousands of others on athletic fields all across the nation Wednesday, October 9 to share their Christian faith with each other during the eighth annual national Fields of Faith event. Although in existence nationwide for several years, the local Fields of Faith event in Waukon is being held for just its second year that same evening at the Waukon High School football field after a successful inaugural event last year that drew more than 400 local people.
Featured speakers this year will include Randy and Melissa Hartz of Sioux Falls, SD. Four other high school- to college-aged youth from the area will also be speaking. A new addition to this year's celebration will be the performance of a Christian band "513FREE," which will take place at 6:30 p.m. and again after the event, with the Fields of Faith program beginning at 7 p.m.
Members of the public are invited to bring their own blankets to spread out on the football field and take part in the event. Lawn chairs are also welcome for those unable to sit on blankets. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be held inside the Waukon High School gym.
