[Christianity Today] 31 July 2007--For many kids, August means stocking up for school. But school supplies are not always affordable for the lower-income black community in the heart of Oklahoma City. However, thanks to a partnership between Holy Temple Baptist Church, Oklahoma City (HTBC), and First Christian Church in neighboring Edmond, Okla. (FCC; fccedmond.org), 1,000 local kids get not only free school supplies, but also a day of fun. Each August, the two churches host a Back-to-School Block Party at HTBC—complete with food, games and music.
