Pastor Ken Shaddox gets dunked!

Beautiful and breezy fall weather set the stage for an entertaining event at Park Hill's Block Party on Sunday evening. More than 1000 people enjoyed food, fellowship, and fun, including nearly 300 guests, many from the Park Hill community.

This year's event featured a couple local Christian bands as well as the Dixieland Band, which is comprised of PHBC members. A bustling venue of inflatables and children's games drew the attention of the young, while a car show across C Avenue held the fascination of old and young alike.

The Block Party served to connect the community with the North Little Rock Upward Basketball league, which is now registering. It also helped spread the word about Central Arkansas CityFest with Luis Palau, which will be held October 24-25 in North Little Rock.
