The weekend is here and there are a ton of great events taking place throughout the Natural State. There are a TON of events to choose; everything from food, art, music, and outdoor fun. It looks like things are going to cool down slightly. Looks like mid to upper 90s instead of over the 100 mark during the day and in the mid-70s in the evening. And we have a slight chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday. Take a look at our guide to what’s happening this weekend in Arkansas and make plans with your friends and family!

Fill the Bus!

Walmart Booneville - E Main St

Stuff the Bus – Let’s Do This, South Logan County!

In partnership with our friends at United Way, we’re rolling up to our local Walmart with a BIG goal — to fill an entire school bus with school supplies for the amazing kids right here in South Logan County!

It takes a village — and we’re so grateful for the incredible effort from our Boys & Girls Club staff, dedicated volunteers, local teachers, school personnel, and YOU, our caring community members.

From crayons and notebooks to backpacks and glue sticks, every single donation makes a difference. Together, we can make sure every child starts the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

Last weekend in July!
Walmart – Booneville
Goal: One bus, filled to the brim with love and supplies

Let’s rally together and show these kids how much their community believes in them!

What if we could move beyond our differences and come together as one? What if the presence of God was the focus that united us all? Imagine churches, pastors, and believers standing together, not divided by walls, but united by our shared hunger for revival and God’s presence.

This July, in Fort Smith, AR, we invite you to our next Glory Gathering. These gatherings are not just about meetings or services—they’re about entering into a deeper intimacy with God, igniting a revival within us, and coming together as one body. As we gather, we seek to experience His presence in a way that revives our spirits, unites us, and tears down the barriers that have kept us apart.

Revival in God’s Kingdom begins in His presence. It’s in that sacred space where differences fade, and we see each other as God sees us—His beloved children, co-heirs of His promises. These Glory Gatherings are designed to lead us into that place of unity, intimacy, and revival, preparing our hearts for the greater outpouring to come this year.

Hi, I’m Pastor Chris Garcia. It’s my honor to invite you to a moment that could spark revival in your life and in our churches. Unity in God’s Kingdom begins in His presence. It’s in that Holy space where differences fade, and we see each other as God sees us—His beloved children, co-heirs of His promises. These Glory Gatherings are designed to lead us into that place of unity, intimacy, and revival, preparing our hearts for the greater outpouring to come this year.

We invite you to join us in this moment with God’s presence. Whether you’re a pastor, a leader, or a believer longing for more of Him, this is your invitation. Together, let’s seek the heart of God, break down the walls that have divided us, and embrace the unity and revival that His Spirit brings.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something extraordinary. Let’s gather, let’s unite, and let’s encounter the presence of God and His revival—together.
