SUMMARY:2nd Sundays: Community Worship Night
DESCRIPTION:We’re back for our monthly worship night at The Centennial!\nJoin us each second Sunday for a special night of worship. We believe that worship should not be confined to the walls of a church\, but should be a celebration that brings everyone together. That’s why we invite all members of the community to join us for this unique experience.\nWhat makes our night of prayer and worship unique is the setting. Instead of being confined within the walls of a building\, we gather under the beauty and stillness of the summer sky. Surrounded by nature\, we are reminded of God’s creation and His presence all around us.\nAs the sun sets and the stars begin to appear\, we raise our voices in song and lift up our prayers to God. There is something incredibly powerful about worshiping outdoors\, feeling the gentle breeze on our faces and hearing the sounds of nature as we sing and pray together.\nWhether you are a part of a local church or have never stepped foot in church\, we invite you to join us for our night of prayer and worship. All are welcome.\nSo mark your calendars and make plans to join us on the second Sunday of each month from June to October. Bring a blanket or a chair\, and come prepared to experience the joy and power of worshiping under the summer sky.\nTogether\, let’s unite as the Church of Knox County and lift our voices in prayer and worship. Let’s worship and fellowship together! We look forward to seeing you there! \nCheck us out on Facebook at “The Centennial Events.” \nSecond Sundays: 6pm – 8pm

SUMMARY:THE SMASHING PUMPKINS at the Illinois State Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Smashing Pumpkins take to the Grandstand Stage of the Illinois State Fair in Springfield on Friday\, August\, 16\, 2024! Special guest opening the show will be PVRIS. \n>> Click for Ticket Info <<\nWhen The Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago in 1988\, the world had never heard a band quite like them. They spun together rock\, pop\, shoe-gaze\, metal\, goth\, psychedelia\, and electronic into a kaleidoscope of saccharine melodies\, fuzzy distortion\, bombastic orchestration\, incendiary fretwork\, eloquent songcraft\, and unshakable hooks. As a result\, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide and collected two GRAMMY® Awards\, two MTV VMAs\, and an American Music Award. Their catalog is highlighted by the platinum Gish [1991]\, the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993]\, diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995]\, platinum Adore [1998]\, and gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000].mas
