Memorial Road Church of Christ Work Group

A group of almost 70 youth and adults from Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma City, OK, served at Fortress on June 3-4. This group of Jr. High students has been coming to Fortress for many years and has blessed Fortress in countless ways. Last week they all got to experience the Fortress Prayer Drive-where we drive through the community and stop in different areas to pray for the community, the kids and all that God is doing at Fortress. The group also did a community clean-up in which they cleaned up several blocks in the surrounding neighborhoods, provided an activity for our kids at the park and helped prepare our building for the summer program. The students got an opportunity to visit with the staff and other community members about urban life and the impact they can have in the world as followers of Christ. We know that God opened the eyes and hearts of these young people to what He was doing in our city and to what they can do in their own communities. God is faithful and we are excited to see how He will continue to answer the prayers of this group and grow the seeds that were planted through their service. Fortress was truly blessed by this special group and we are grateful for all their hard work and investment into what God is doing at Fortress and in our neighborhood.
