MARLBOROUGH – It’s not every day that the soldiers’ memorial by the First Baptist Church on Mechanic Street has some company.
But on Saturday, June 22, The Volunteer kept watch over several inflatables and families enjoying Carolina red hot dogs.
It was the latest stop of Family Palooza, a free event spearheaded by a group from the Central Church of Dunn, North Carolina.
“They’re helping out churches in MetroWest,” said Logan Loveday, the pastor for First Baptist. “It’s all part of community service.”
The group has been touring several Baptist churches in the area, offering free activities and food. Organizers said they had been staying in Framingham, and they got to visit Harvard University and sample clam chowder.
The First Baptist Church of Marlborough holds services on Sundays at 10 a.m. Signups are under way for its Vacation Bible School July 16-20 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. each day. The school is for children from 3 years old to fifth grade. Dinner is included.
The church also offers a prime viewing spot for the city’s annual Labor Day parade.
