In case you haven’t heard, Hilton is in the direct path of a total solar eclipse coming to Rochester on April 8th. And our church is right in the heart of the path! Monroe County is expecting an influx of over 500,000 people to our area. We want to open our parking lot for people to view the eclipse, and use it as an outreach event.

We plan to open the lot with free parking at 9am on Monday the 8th, and close it at 4pm. We will allow a limited number of cars to leave space for people to set up chairs, etc. We will be offering small goodie bags that include eclipse glasses, tracts, etc. We are hoping to draw many with the goal of reaching them for the sake of the Gospel.  

We are first and foremost asking you to pray. We have created a tract that is available in the Commons. Grab some and hand them out everywhere! Pray for it to be useful to reach people for Jesus. Pray also for positive interactions with those who will be on our property, and pray for those who will be volunteering. None of us knows exactly what to expect, but we are trusting that God will allow us to reach out in His name for His glory.
