Shoes for the City Distribution
2026-05-02 | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
We are excited to partner with Serve Midtown Church of Christ, South Walker Church of Christ, and Edmond Public Schools to bless members of our community with new shoes. On May 2 from 1–3 p.m., we plan to distribute the shoes collected on Easter Sunday to the communities around Serve Midtown and South Walker. Because each site serves a different population, the distribution approach will be unique to each location.
Serve Midtown’s new building is located across the street from the downtown bus depot, creating a perfect opportunity to bless our unhoused neighbors. We need volunteers to make sandwiches for distribution in addition to helping hand out shoes.
South Walker’s community is primarily Hispanic. In Mexico, Día del Niño is celebrated at the end of April, making this children’s celebration an ideal opportunity for us to distribute the shoes. Every year, South Walker hosts a community event for Día del Niño with games, crafts, food, and, of course, a piñata for the neighborhood kids. We will need a variety of volunteers to help with the event.
We will have a culminating outdoor bilingual worship for everyone involved in the Shoes for the City drive and distribution at the Wiley Post Park. Bring your own seating and join us May 2nd at 4 pm.

Stanley Rother Shrine and Royal Bavaria Restaurant
2026-04-13 15:00 - 19:00 | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
Senior Ministry Invites all Seniors to a Tour and Dinner
Tour the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine and then dine at the Royal Bavaria German Restaurant on April 13, 2026. We will leave MRCC 3:00pm.
We can accommodate up to 30 participants to attend these events and transportation will be provided.
Admission to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine is FREE.
Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine Tour
The cause for the canonization of Father Stanley Rother began in 2007. In June 2015, the Vatican formally recognized him as a martyr, an important step toward beatification and eventual canonization. On December 1, 2016, Pope Francis officially declared Father Rother a martyr for the faith. He became the first martyr from the United States and the first U.S.-born priest to be beatified. His Rite of Beatification took place on September 23, 2017, in downtown Oklahoma City and was attended by more than 20,000 people from around the world.
The Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine now stands as a symbol of faith and the Catholic Church’s presence in Oklahoma. It serves as a pilgrimage site for visitors from across Oklahoma, the United States, and beyond. The shrine church is designed in a Spanish mission style to resemble Saint James the Apostle Catholic Church in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, where Father Rother served as a missionary.
The shrine also includes a 6,000-square-foot pilgrim center containing a museum and gift shop. The museum tells the story of Blessed Stanley Rother’s life and mission, displaying artifacts from different stages of his life and explaining his martyrdom and beatification, with hopes of one day documenting his canonization as well.
Dine at Royal Bavaria Restaurant
Royal Bavaria was founded November 20th, 1992 by Jörg Kühne, a businessman from Munich, Germany.
His idea was to bring a Bavarian brew pub to Oklahoma with an authentic atmosphere, true Bavarian hospitality and the typical German cuisine, which has found so many friends all over the world.
A 5.5 acre property was located very quickly, and soon the project was approved by the City of Moore. In the southeast corner of Moore on highway 77/Sooner Road, the groundbreaking took place in August 1993. After the customary 5 week time had passed, according to an old custom, the topping out ceremony took place.
RSVP to tom.conklin@mrcc.org by April 6th.

Grief is a very deep, complicated bundle of emotions that can be truly overwhelming. Each of us in our lifetime will grieve for a number of reasons brought on by life circumstances. Naturally, we think of grief after the loss of a loved one. We also may grieve loss of connections when we move, loss of a pregnancy or infertility, loss of a close relationship, the end of a marriage, loss of employment, and many other losses. Our church family cares deeply about those grieving in any way and we don’t want you to feel you are grieving alone. We want to offer you love, hope, and support in your journey of grief.

2026-02-05 - 2026-07-26 | Memorial Road Church of Christ, 2221 E. Memorial Rd., Edmond, OK, 73013, United States
The Heartfelt Ministry is designed to build relationships between the generations, with a group of older women hosting and loving on a group of younger women. It is made of Heart Moms and Heart Sisters who come together to share life stories, have a meal together and learn from each other. Click HERE to watch a video featuring memories and testimonials from past years.
Here is what you need to know about being a Heart Mom:

They can be married, widowed or single women of that age.
They plan and prepare the evening, giving the Sisters an example of hosting and allowing them night free of responsibilities. The evening consists of dinner, either life stories or devotional, optional craft or activity, and prayer time.
They can choose one to three friends to be Moms with them, or they can choose to be placed randomly with a group of Moms.
The evening should last approximately two hours with start times typically between 6:00 and 6:30 (the Moms in each group decide which time works best for most of their group).
A Moms meeting on Sunday, August 9, 3:00- 4:30 p.m. in A105/106 should answer any questions, with time at the end for Moms to meet with their Heart Mom group.
A Kick Off Dinner is Monday, August 24, 6:30-8 p.m. in Fellowship Central. Moms will come at 6:00. More details will be provided.
Registration is open now and will close at midnight July 26.

Some changes from previous years:

Heartfelt will kick off in August and will end in April instead of May.
Heartfelt will officially be offered every other year, starting this year.
The first two months of Heartfelt will involve sharing life stories, dinner, optional craft or activity, and prayer time. One month is designated as a service project month (we will provide ideas).
The other months will include devotional (provided), dinner, optional craft or activity, and prayer time.
We are limiting the number of Sisters to match up with how many Moms we have so …. We NEED Moms to insure we have enough groups for all the many young women who would like to be a part of this program.
You can choose to work with from just one other Mom up to three other Moms.

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER BY JULY 26 TO BE A HEART MOM FOR 2026-2027

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.

REGISTER NOW for DC4K
