Thank you to @simplicityokc & @wings_ok for partnering with us as we seek to proclaim the love, hope, & mercy of Jesus Christ through service & prayer! Simplicity Church rallied as a church & helped us provide school uniforms for many of our Rock Island kids! Wings put together 1,200 hygiene kits for us to distribute to our neighbors & friends! We are always looking for new partnerships with other non-profits, churches, small groups, & individuals interested in helping in our mission!

There was a whole lot of reading going on at our youth center, Rock Island, this past Monday. Each Monday tutors & students gather from 5:00-6:00 to read, do homework, discuss Bible stories, & pray together. We are always in need of more tutors (couples, single people, college/high school students...ANYONE!) to partner w/our students throughout the year. Comment or message us if you would like to learn more about this opportunity!

Looking for ways to help? We recently expanded our clothing store & are needing help organizing donations, hanging clothes, & managing the store on a daily basis. We need help both during store hours (11:00-1:00ish) & beforehand in preparation (anytime between 9:00-10:30). Also, we’ve lost our summer interns & all of the youth groups that run the food pantry during the summer months ☹️. This means we have a need for individuals &/or groups to come help us make food boxes, organize the food pantry, & help with distribution. This opportunity is available anytime beginning at 9:00 until 1:00. Let us know if you would like more information about either of these opportunities.

Last night the youth at Rock Island met for their final Monday evening of literacy of the summer. Afterwards each child received a backpack, school supplies, some words of encouragement, & prayer as they gear up for their school year to begin tomorrow! Rock Island’s after-school program will begin August 20th. Click the link in our bio to learn of ways you can be involved both at Rock Island and Cross & Crown throughout the Fall & Winter.

Summer break is coming to an end for many of our students at Rock Island! They will begin classes a week from today. Our desire is to send each of them back to school with backpacks & school supplies so that when they hit the classroom the first day they will be prepared & ready to learn! Here’s a list of several items we need to get them started: 3-Ring Binders Notebook paper Blue/Red/Black pens Crayons Thin markers Washable Regular markers Pencils Highlighters Spiral notebooks Pocket folders w/brads Colored pencils Glue sticks Elmer’s glue Pencil box Scissors Index cards *CLEAR BACKPACKS* We have plenty of backpacks for our students that are allowed to take the basic, commonly used backpacks that are not transparent, but many of our students are required to have clear/transparent backpacks. You are welcome to drop off items anytime at Cross & Crown on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday between 8:00-4:00, Thursday 12:30-3:00, or you are welcome to contact us to arrange a pickup of larger supply donations. If you are unable to get out & purchase supplies, but would still like to help you can give financially towards this effort by way of cash, check or PayPal (crossandcrownmission@gmail.com). Thank you! @okcps
