Festival will bring together churches from across parish

The Taste & See Jesus Festival 2021 will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 16 at the river front in Berwick.
Area churches from across St. Mary Parish have come together to offer music, food sales, children’s jumps and game activities.
“This event is a much needed coming together to express our thanks to the Lord and raise His name up in a joyful noise in fellowship and unity,” said Tanya Acosta, one of the event coordinators.
Confirmed churches participating are Cornerstone Ministries, Pharr Chapel Methodist Church and Lighthouse Community Church.
Twin City Gospel Temple is coordinating the music area and setting the lineup.
A two-hour finale is planned in the style of the “Gaither Family Homecoming” where all the featured singers and musicians will join together for a sing-a-long with a focus on patriotic music. During the finale, the St. Mary Parish Funeral Squad will do a 3-volley salute, children will do the pledge of allegiance, and sparklers and flags will be given out as a tribute to “God and Country.”
Any area church not yet contacted and is interested in participating should contact Acosta at 281-725-8092 for available slots and to schedule an activity.
