Aug. 1 – Rock The Block

Rock the Block – Back to School – an event which focuses on closing the educational gap for minorities in the Cape Henlopen school district by providing free back packs, school supplies and health screening for children and families.

This will be an ongoing focus for our church. Past featured speakers included Dr. Robert Fulton, Cape Henlopen SD- Supt.; Joan Deaver, former Sussex County Councilwoman; Steve Smyk, current DE State Rep- Dist, 20; Jonathan Kellam, current Laurel Town Councilman; John Hollis, retired Educator Seaford School District and MERIT Exec Dir; and the late Noble Prettyman, retired CHSB member and retired Milton Town Councilman, Alma Roach,, candidate for Recorder of Deeds; Ed Waples. Human Resource Dir- Cape Henlopen. In the past we were funded thru donations from the Sussex County Council, the Welcome Full Gospel Church, Inc, New Life Fellowship Church, and individual donors, as well as food donations from Starboard Restaurant, Food Lion-Milton, and Mr. Jonathan Kellam. W, For His Glory Ministries provided all additional funds for the additional food, school supplies, and giveaways for over 400 people. Other partners included Beebe Hospital & La Red Health Services who provided health screens; Nemours BrightStart, The ARC Educational Center, DE Public Health, Alma Roach, & Inglesia de Dios- Maranantha who provided giveaways and handouts. The Town of Milton provided the Milton Memorial Park- free of charge.

All activities are designed and developed to reach out into the community and promote positive change. We believe that a church’s impact should reach far beyond its 4 walls, and into the community that it resides.
The event is held the 2nd Saturday of September, from 11am-4pm. We offer coupons for free hair cuts from local barbers. We have local entertainment with singing and music from local artists. Free food, activities, and services provided. We just want quality and equal educational opportunities for all children.
