Memorial Road Church of Christ

Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Group (Tuesday evenings)
2025-12-02 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
One in ten people over age 65 live with Alzheimer’s disease today and this number is on the rise. Of course, this includes members of our church family and our community. Most of us know multiple people affected by Alzheimer’s.

We offer two monthly in-person support group times for caregivers of a loved one with Alzheimer’s meeting in person at MRCC. Caregivers are welcome to attend both or either of these times:
The first Tuesday evening of the month, 6:30-8:00 in A119 (led by Dawn Hemphill and Mary Jo Jones)
The third Thursday of the month at 3:00-5:00 in A119 (led by Denise Hawkins).
Our groups are led by trained facilitators who each have been shaped by how this disease has impacted their families. As we meet in person, masks are welcome but not required.

DivorceCare For Kids (DC4K)
2025-12-04 18:30 - 20:00
DC4K is a weekly program for children ages 5–14 whose parents are in a separation or divorce. It’s filled with activities, games, music, and crafts that help kids process their feelings and communicate with their parents. The children learn that they are loved, they will be okay, and God’s love will strengthen them. DC4K provides a safe and caring setting for children to engage in fun-filled activities while learning about separation and divorce and the many changes they are encountering in their lives (at an age-appropriate level). This is not a counseling program, but is a place for these kids to feel safe, learn to acknowledge the hard things happening, and find frequent reminders of the love of Christ in their life, even in the hardest times. Each student will have their own activity book they work in during class and will bring home at the end of the series. Parents will receive information that allows them to continue the discussion and grown in that week’s lesson.

Children will learn:
They’re not alone.
By hearing stories about kids who have faced their parents’ divorce, children feel encouraged and less isolated.
How to talk about their feelings.
Intentional activities teach children how to identify their emotions and communicate them to others.
Important coping skills.
The children will feel secure and able to manage the many changes that are happening in their lives.
God loves them.
Relatable Bible stories strengthen children with the knowledge that God loves them and will help them move forward.

Our program is offered Thursday evenings 6:30-8:00 September 11 until December 4.
We will not meet Oct. 16, Nov. 6 or Nov. 27.

HOPE - Hope Over Pain Everyday
2025-12-09 10:00 - 11:30 | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
HOPE (Hope Over Pain Everyday) is a support group for women who struggle with chronic pain due to arthritis, auto-immune conditions, severe back pain, or other health issues. Its purpose is to provide encouragement, education, and hope for MRCC and community women facing daily pain challenges.
HOPE meets monthly on the second Tuesday from 10:00-11:30 AM in room A106.
This group is led by Gail Brookman, a trained facilitator who experiences chronic pain from multiple health conditions. We will use guided studies as well as host occasional guest speakers about resources that may be helpful.
While we will be sharing our pain struggles, our goal is for everyone to leave our support group meetings with a sense of HOPE. HOPE because we know God will take care of us and HOPE because we can connect with others who also experience chronic pain.
Please pre-register and submit any questions here
Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
