Each church accepted a partnership with a local school in which the church would be in a caring relationship, offering some type of support and communication. The schools accepted the idea that when they had a special need they would contact their partner church. The congregation is helping landscape the school grounds and is interested in further involvement, even though none of their children happen to attend the school. A larger-scale partnership is under way in the Presbytery of Eastern Oklahoma. The name stands for one student, one hour per week for one school year.
Volunteers range in age from high school students to senior citizens.
