It's faith, fun and food at Wood City Worship Festival

The annual Wood City Worship Festival brought music, food, faith and a ton of people to Veterans Park Saturday, plus a whole lot of fun. Even after the "foam party" was over, Maryah Christenson, 5, and Suri Keller, 6, had fun rolling through a foot of foam, ending their playtime covered in tiny soap bubbles. Meanwhile Josiah Gallegos, age 2 of Cloquet, kept up with the high-energy Go Fish band, jumping all over the grass in front of the stage through the band's various kid-friendly tunes.

It was a day for all ages, all faiths and even those who don't believe.

"The goal is to bring people that don't even know Christ, so it's evangelical in that sense," Lee Harris of Kingdom Builders Ministries explained last year. "That's part of all the fun, to bring families so they can experience it. Christianity is not an unpleasant life - it's a blast. We're drawing people to God."
