In January, as a church, we started preparing and serving dinner once a month. After serving dinner and cleaning up, we stay to worship with the students. That's my favorite part! Seeing the students praise Jesus and worship alongside them is such a great experience.

RHK Real: We had an incredible night at our annual RHK Real fundraiser last Thursday, and we are thankful so many of you were able to make it to this year's event. Surely, it was one of the best.

Over the summer, it was exciting to have some kids return whom we hadn't seen in a few years. They left as “little” kids and returned as teens.

We held our third annual health fair on August 7. RHK is incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful volunteers and organizations who came out to help make this event a success.

Meet Abby Finley, the newest member of Rock House Kids’ Board of Directors! Abby is looking forward to using her skills and experience to help guide the vital services RHK provides to inner-city youth.

We are looking forward to our annual fundraiser: RHK Real on September 17. It always feels like a reunion of our RHK family, and we love it! Something new this year is our Golden Ticket.
