THE MOM CONNECTIONNeed to spend time with others traveling through the ups, downs, twists, and turns of motherhood? Each Friday we gather to share stories, advice when requested, prayer requests and a bite to eat along with steaming cups of coffee. This group is open to all, no matter what your faith background, and welcomes any moms who are looking for a place to connect. During our meeting time, our children are cared for by wonderful childcare workers who lead them in a craft, outdoor play time when whether permits, songs, a Bible story, and a snack. A number of guest speakers share their stories and encourage those of us newer to this adventure of motherhood with relevant topics. This year for our discussion times we will be working through a great book: Cold Tangerines: celebrating the extraordinary nature of everyday life. Cost? The first two visits are free and after that the fee is $25 per semester if you come without children; $120 per semester with one child and $140 per semester for two or more children. This helps offset our childcare costs. Scholarships are available.

Meals for New Moms In a joint effort between women's ministries and the deacons we have a super easy and efficient live web based system in place that allows for us to bless new moms and their families with meals. We hope you are willing to be a part of this wonderful program that so blesses and provides for the needs of families in such a tangible way. You do not need to be a gourmet chef, in fact you may even give gift certificates to local restaurants. If you want to join the meal team please contact Andrea Pannell at pannell@mac.com
