Mission Field Park A Christ-centered community of caring that ministers to the spiritual, physical, educational, emotional or rehabilitative needs of individuals and families.

Mission Field is a project of City of Refuge Rocky Mount, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. It includes 33 acres on South Winstead Avenue across from Englewood Baptist Church. The church donated the land and welcomes other faith partners, individuals, foundations and non-profits to join us in OUR MISSION of creating a Christ-centered community of caring that ministers to the spiritual, physical, educational, emotional or rehabilitative needs of individuals and families. Plans for Mission Field include a Family Playground, a Miracle League baseball field, a walking trail, a picnic shelter and an amphitheater. It will be a family and faith-focused facility, serving the recreational needs of children of all ages and abilities. We believe that children represent the greatest mission field in our area. Mission Field will be a focal point of family activity in western Rocky Mount. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Need something simple to do with the kids this week? Head outside for a Creation Scavenger Hunt! Find something God made that is red, something tiny, something that makes noise, something soft, something changing with the season, and something that makes you say, “Wow!” Then thank God together for what you found. 🍂

A park can be more than equipment and grass. It can be where a friendship begins. Where a child gains confidence. Where a dad throws a baseball with his son. Where a family slows down long enough to talk. Where someone is reminded of their Creator. That's the kind of place we're dreaming about.

We may not be able to control other people's actions, but we can control our response. May we be people who pursue peace, even when it's not easy.

Jesus told us to love our neighbors. Here's a simple way to practice it this week: invite someone along. Ask another family to take a walk, meet at a playground, eat dinner, or simply spend time together. Community usually begins with an invitation.

Play might look simple, but there's a lot happening underneath it. Children are learning to communicate, solve problems, take turns, try again, make friends, and use their imaginations. That's a pretty productive afternoon.

Not every family memory needs to be a vacation or a big event. Sometimes the best memories are made on completely ordinary Fridays. A picnic. A walk. A ballgame. Kids laughing on a playground. Mission Field is being created for the ordinary days that become treasured memories.

Here's a challenge for this week: 30 minutes outside. No phones. Take a walk. Throw a ball. Sit on the porch. Let the kids play. Talk to each other. God gave us people to love and a beautiful world to enjoy. Let's make time for both.

Children need room to wonder. Room to explore. Room to ask questions. Room to discover God's incredible creation. Sometimes something as simple as getting outside gives us an opportunity to point our children back to their Creator.

Years from now, our children probably won't remember every toy we bought them. But they may remember the afternoons spent outside, the games that lasted until dinner, the friends they made, and the places where their family simply enjoyed being together. Mission Field is being created with those kinds of moments in mind.
