CHARLESTON -- A Charleston Church reaches out to the community. The North Charleston Apostolic Church sponsored a block party today. During the event part of Sixth Avenue was blocked off. Carnival games with prizes and a Limbo contest were just a few of the activities at the party. Animal balloons and face painting were also part of the event.

Organizers say they put together the party to be good neighbors in the community.

"We believe it's very important today because our society is forgetting about the family, and in the day and hour we are living in there's not many that's carrying for one another and giving back to one another,' says Reverend Anthony Moss, Pastor of North Charleston Apostolic Church.

About 200 attended the block party event. Reverend Moss says the hope is the party is the first of many to come.
