NEW This Week

I ntroducing a new segment that will be featured each week in our "This Week at MR" email called MR Memoirs. Our lives are all valuable stories. We want to create a space where we can honestly share the pain, joy, and hope of our lives as we process what we are learning from our current sermon series. We want to establish a sense of community among our congregation, one in which we can reflect on the little grandiose moments of our adventurous lives. We encourage you to take a moment to rest in your busy day to savor an honest short story.

What is the biggest thing you have taken away from the current sermon series? Knowing that God had the humility to give up his rights as King so that I could live and be truly free. What is something that has been challenging to hear from this sermon series? It is always challenging for me to face the fact that, when compared to a majority of the world’s population, I live a cushy life of comfort—I have everything I could ever need or want, and yet I still don’t live as though I have been loved and freed by the King of kings. How is God teaching you to own your faith instead of renting your fear? To believe and trust that I am KNOWN and deeply cared for by Him , and that he cares enough about me to continue choosing me, over and over. (It’s hard to believe that, if He had an Instagram page, there’d be proud papa pictures of me on it!) - Kimberly Myles

Jump in and Serve! Let's take ownership of our community by serving the church if only once a month. Together we can build an even more amazing space for worship. -Nursery team (children from 6 weeks to 3 years old) - Spend time interacting with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers by reading and playing with them. This is a great chance to care for our youngest church attendees and an easy way of doing your part to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. No diaper changes required! -Children's ministry team (childcare in K4 through 4th grade) - Teach or assist in Sunday school or children's church. Another great chance to build relationships and share the love of Jesus with the kids of our congregation and their families. -Greeting team - Help welcome our members and guests alike by being a friendly first impression at one of our four main doors. This is a great job to serve with a friend or spouse, or as a family. -Parking team - Help with shuttles from our outer lots, direct people to available parking spaces and keep our parking lot running smoothly. This volunteer job is rain or shine and is great place to serve with a friend. -Usher team - Hand out bulletins, help people find seats, and pass the offering plate for any of our three services. Email Frances Lightcap at  flightcap@mitchellroad.org  to discuss where you might want to jump in and serve.
