“Can you tell us about a time when you felt incarnational ministry happening in your life? A time when someone initiated with you, invaded your life with the gospel, and/or identified with you.” 

One of the times I felt incarnational ministry was through the body of Christ here at Mitchell Road. I am a single member within the body and my Mom had been put on Hospice. I, the same week experienced a terrible bicycle accident that left me in the hospital for several weeks and then later to Roger C. Peace. Curtis came to the hospital after my accident and asked what could he and or the body of Mitchell Road do to ease my mind since we did not know how long it would be until I could come home to be with my mom. Mitchell Road folks would come and stay with my mom and make sure she was not alone and made sure she had meals and basically sustained me in the hospital the weeks I was there. I had folks from my Sunday school class come and visit me along with Curtis, and folks brought me reading material so I could stay in the Word while I was getting better.

Another time was when I went back to work after my accident. Linda T. would schedule several ladies to come over and sit with my mom on Wednesdays so our family did not have to pay for a care giver that day. Mitchell Road showed me and our family the hands and feet of Jesus as they ministered to me and our family during this very trying time in our lives. We will forever be grateful for our church family for how they were Jesus to us.

Upcoming Events
Evensong - A Six Week Study of Jonah - July 22

Before Community Groups start up again, join us in Evensong ( Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm ) for a six week series on the book of Jonah. Jonah is far more than a story of a man gulped down by a great fish. It's a storied presentation of the gospel; a story of sin and grace. Jonah reveals that while we are great sinners, God is a great Savior. Jonah shows that while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther still.
