The congregation at Solid Word Church, 242 North U.S. 281 in Great Bend, will hold its Sunday services outdoors on June 8. Pastor Mark Williams said they will have a tent set up on the grounds for an old-fashioned church meeting. Everyone is welcome to bring a blanket or lawn chair, or pull up in a pickup and put the tailgate down.

The purpose of the service is to pull people together and give them a little hope, Williams said.
