Chantilly’s Ox Hill Baptist Church, in partnership with Fairfax County’s Neighborhood and Community Services, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Washington and Pohanka Automotive group held a fall festival, Oct. 26, at the church. Children dressed in Halloween costumes enjoyed moonbounces, face-painting, food and crafts, and games while adults learned about community resources. The fall festival helped to “raise awareness of Fairfax County program resources and to help the church connect with the community,” said Paul Brill, Associate Pastor at Ox Hill Baptist Church.
