It was a rocking time in Regina’s downtown Victoria Park, Saturday, September 10, as eight bands from different faith communities beat out music for the Glory of God. It was the annual Praise in the Park endorsed by the Regina Council of Churches and the Regina Ministerial Association. Children played at several activities in the warm sun as their parents and others sat on the grass, on blankets or lawn chairs and listened to the music. Several children were doing gymnastic moves further away from the stage. Faith based organizations set up small tents along side the main venue providing information on their activities and membership for anyone that stopped by. Food was available from food trucks parked nearby and an ice cream bicycle made its way through the park several times. A late start to the afternoon caused by a problem getting the sound system working to the satisfaction of the bands didn’t motivate people to leave the venue. Initial attendance was small as the afternoon was competing with a televised Roughrider game from Winnipeg. More came as the afternoon wore on.
