New shoes. New grade. New teacher. Back to school season is exciting — and it can also be expensive. That’s why Ekklesia is throwing open our doors (and our parking lot) for a free block party built just for our neighbors. Come for the bounce houses. Stay for the community. Leave with a school supply kit — everything you need to fill that backpack — and one less thing to worry about before the first bell rings.
Bounce Houses — Because kids need to burn off that back-to-school energy somewhere.
Face Painting & Crafts — Simple, fun, and free.
Games — Classic block party fun for all ages.
Food — Free eats, no strings attached.
School Supply Giveaway — School supply kits while they last, for any family who needs one.
We believe faith should look like something — and this is one small piece of what that looks like for us: showing up for our neighbors without asking anything in return. Raleigh is our home, this block is our block, and the families here are the people we get to love. No strings, no fine print, no expectation that you’ll walk through our doors on Sunday. Just a good afternoon, full backpacks, and a small reminder that this community is looking out for you.
