As we head toward the end of the year we would like to spotlight our two newest partnerships, Columbia Elementary and Winchell Elementary who now have partnership churches that are actively engaged in their neighborhoods.
Columbia has connected with City of Refuge church who began hosting a Saturday Sports program on campus earlier this month. The principal is very excited to have this outreach at her campus because she saw the impact from a fruitful partnership at her previous school.
Winchell is fortunate to have two churches partnering with them: Central Valley Church of Christ and Paraclete Missionary Baptist Church. These two churches teamed up to host a huge block party last month which gave them an opportunity to begin building relationships with the families that live in that neighborhood. They already have plans to host a six week soccer camp at the school this spring.
We look forward to watching these two partnerships thrive and grow in the months ahead.
