If it was just me I would have said no.
One guy sitting close by came and sat across from us.
When I first stepped into the church I knew within a few minutes this was the church for me. The sense of family and community is great here. The church is really focused on equipping believers to carry out the mission presented before all Christians.
I learned not to eat from a hand of idleness but I hadn't eaten anything for ober a week because any food I got I gave to my son.
Rating churches is highly subjective. This church has good music, nice people, and decent donuts. Also, a amazing youth group and provides a lot community service. They have a live band that provides contemporary Christian music. The church seems to be more on the politically conservative side. They have lots of diversity in age and ethnicity.
I went to go round up my son so we could leave. As i came walking around the corner a lady asks him "what do those people want"..
Surely they cant be so heartless its a church right?! So I got my son after service. A male youth pastor approached me amd invited us to a slice of pizza.
My husband went back to the car.
I waited but she never came. So I sat in service and tried to brush it off.. I waited after service and could not find her.
We could have used a prayer that would have been better than the hypocrisy. I as a mother was hurting inside already crying because my child was in a situation like this. I won't be surprised at those who read this still find stones to throw at me. But what do you except from a church that was started by a "Jewish frat boy". Youth pastor told us about this..
Debating if I should share my experience .. We moved out here from Colorado trying to find a place ro raise a child where marijuana is not on every ones agenda. We didn't have much just enough to rent a place and our car. My husband had a job but lost it because our car kept breaking down. So we fell on some hard times. It was the weekend before thanksgiving.
So as much as I already felt like garbage I did it for my child to eat and be out of the cold for a couple hours.
You know mustard seed church. We never asked for money we didn't ask for food.
I grabbed it with my hand shaking because I was cold and scared. I proceed to talk to her I told her about our situation at the time.
Her picture was all over the bigscreen tvs they had, but she was no where to be found.
He invited my husband in who was even reluctant he just wanted to make sure our son and I got out of the cold for a while.
I ate a slice.
I walk in no one says a thing to us. No one sits by us as we eat and everyone in the congregation just stared at us or looked away.
To my surprise a lady greated us and handed us a pamphlet.
I LOVE REV CITY SO MUCH. These people are not just a church, they are a family. They empower others and serve the community in a multitude of ways. So proud to be a part of everything God is doing at Rev City!
He came in for a slice. The youth pastor said my husband needed to get a job.
She said she would talk to the pastor and she would come sit with me.
When I was younger I learned about a mustard seed of faith. With everything with in me, I put my pride aside and we walked in.
I was looking for a new church around 3 years ago, when I first came to the Mustard Seed. My first visit was the sunrise Easter service and it was bitter cold. The service was held outside, so I wasn't very impressed...all I could think about was getting warm. I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to come back and give the Seed a second chance. I did,and since then I know this is where I belong. The people who make up this church are my family. I serve in the nursery and I am a life group leader. Things are not always perfect, and I don't always agree with everything, but this IS where I belong, and the Mustard Seed/Rev City Church is my home church and it is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. There's no such thing as a perfect church, but I have grown in my faith over the past 3 years and I have a loving "family" that I can count on.
I kept reminding my self about that mustard seed.
He engaged in conversation and I was impressed about the one person who had heart.
I started to realize I was scum to them.
The youth pastor says "we're just trying to get rid of them."
You automatically assumed we were nothing and jobless and Pennyless.. We weren't drug addicts or even alcoholics. But you treated us like we were.
He knew I heard him. He asks why don't you guy's come for our thanksgiving dinner..
I hadn't walked into a church for years. I hadn't showered for about a week, either my child. I felt as bad as I looked and im sure we didn't smell to well.
