This summer, RICH Kids will be jam-packed with many wonderful partnerships, experiences, and collaborations …
- Mondays will be our Friends and Park day. Starting off visiting First Glance, our students will be partnered with new friends to spend some time playing and reading. Then we will head out to a new park to enjoy! From Akron all the way up to Cleveland, we are excited to partner and picnic our Mondays up!
- Tuesdays we are looking at Bible Block onsite, having fun in God’s Word, and then ending our day in Swim Safety lessons with the YMCA.
- Wednesdays will be our back-to-back day — starting off with our Nature Block and partnership with Akron Parks Collaborative and then back onsite to cook with Chef Danni and The RICH Kids Kitchen!
- Thursdays we will end our week with a Bible Block recap and head into many different opportunities with local partnerships that will expose our youth to businesses, athletic experiences, and friends around town.
PRAY WITH US IN 2024!
Your commitment to prayer plays an essential role in our mission to rejuvenate community, economy, and faith. As we navigate the paths ahead, our staff, team, and board members are deeply engaged in prayerful planning. We would be grateful for you to come alongside us in prayer. Here are some key prayer points for your reflection and support:
- 1. Vision: We are spending time this year as a team to plan, pray, and prepare for the future and the many programs we run. Pray for God’s direction and good.
- 2. Sustainability: As we grow, we desire to support our staff equitably. Pray for the provision of South Street Ministries and God’s will be done God’s way through God’s provision and people!
- 3. Youth: The South Street team faces new challenges in 2024, working at the heart of families, youth, and community dynamics.
- 4. Reentry: Coming home from incarceration is a challenging process — pray that God empowers and enables full restoration in the lives of the women and men coming home and restoring their lives!
- 5. Community: Uplift South Akron and Summit Lake as places where we live, work, worship, and play. Pray for God’s peace and good in our neighborhoods!
- 6. The South Street team: Pray that the love of God will be fully lived in and out of our lives!
