I had been hearing the term "the block" for a while, but I never knew what it was. Then one day I received a message on Facebook:

"Hey:) I go to this place called The Block on Tuesday nights and what it is, is we have a bunch of people that throw this big block party every week from about 7-10. There's live dj's, music, entertainment and it's all free. Pretty much like a party you would prob go to just without the alcohol ha anyways I just wanted to invite you to come check it out one Tuesday when you don't have any plans!:)"

So, I decided to check it out, and I am so thankful I did! From the second you pull into the parking lot there are people greeting you left and right! Everyone is so kind and genuine and really know how to make you feel at home. I never imagined meeting so many awesome people in such little time.

Not only are there awesome people, but there's awesome music!! The energy and excitement built up in the place are astonishing. Everyone is ecstatic to be there and seem to have the time of their lives.

The best part of the block is the worship. It is so amazing to see all these people coming together to give praise to the Lord. These people are so on fire for Jesus and you can see that within the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

How cool is it that we have a place that we can gather weekly and experience God with a group of people who bring out the best in each other and want to help you become closer to God? I think that's flippin' awesome!!!

I am so glad I decided to go to the Block and met some cool new friends, and I can not wait to see what the Lord does through this event to shape and mold me for my future. I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future.

I know the people at The Block want to meet YOU! Come check out the Block in Pinson, AL every Tuesday at 7 p.m.!
