Family Worship Center is marking twenty-five years of ministry with a parade, a thanksgiving service and a community street fair, all on the same Throggs Neck block. The organizers promise praise, fellowship, food and family activities across the day rather than a single ceremony. If you want to see how a Bronx neighbourhood actually marks its own milestone, turn up for it.
What to expect
The morning opens with the parade, which leads into the thanksgiving service, and the street fair follows with food and family activities. Expect a neighbourhood crowd rather than a destination one, and a welcome that extends to people who wandered in. Everything is free.
Good to know
- The site is at 3031 Cross Bronx Expressway Extension in Throggs Neck; check a transit app for the nearest bus stop.
- Everything is free and open to the public.
- The programme is faith-based, so expect a service as part of the day.
- Come mid-morning for the parade or later for the street fair and food.
- It is street-level and flat, so strollers and wheelchairs manage fine.
