Is it summer already?
As you’ll see below, we’ve had an amazing spring at OCC! More volunteers means more kids get the attention they deserve. They get more opportunities to be known and loved and prayed for, and we get more opportunities to address individual needs.
We would love to keep this trend going throughout the summer! If you’re in town, consider joining us on a Saturday morning! We can’t promise great weather, but we can offer you ice cold water and a morning spent with some of the best kids in Central Florida.
Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus!
The past two months have been a fun time to be at Orlando Children’s Church. Thanks to our church partners, faithful volunteers, and other charitable organizations, the OCC kids have been especially loved on this spring. If you have joined us on a Saturday morning, shared your resources with us, or prayed for OCC, THANK YOU!
Here are just a few highlights:
Simply Amazing encouraged our elementary kids to embrace their creativity and gave out art and supply boxes to help them do just that!
Thanks to CrossPointe Winter Park, the kids got to run around and collect 5,000 eggs on Easter weekend!
Celebration Church and a group from YWAM have been getting to know our middle and high school students, encouraging them to express themselves in worship and embrace the beautiful reality that they are children of God.
From Outside In brought their mobile boutique and treated our teenagers to a fun shopping experience, complete with snacks and loads of encouragement.
Thanks to our friends at Shear Junkies, we’re now able to occasionally offer free professional haircuts at OCC! A few of our boys got fresh cuts this month, and the confidence they walked away with is still bringing joy to our hearts.
These are only a few examples of the ways our OCC kids have been cared for recently. There are so many more of youwho have faithfully been there, bringing hope to the kids week after week.
We truly love all the children and teenagers who come to OCC, and it is such a blessing to get to witness other people loving on them too. We’ve said it before, and we’ll keep on saying it: Thank you for sharing the love of Jesus with the kids at OCC!
