New: The Mom’s Table
The Mom’s Table is a community of moms that meets bi-weekly during the fall semester. Whether you are expecting, navigating the newborn haze, chasing a toddler, or keeping up with elementary-aged kids, there is a place for you here. The purpose is to spend time growing together as moms who are rooted in Christ. Each meeting will focus on a different topic to discuss in small groups about the challenges of being a mom, wife, and believer. The groups are designed to bring moms of different ages around a table to help guide you and encourage you. Motherhood is beautiful, rewarding, and wonderfully chaotic. It shapes us daily, teaching us patience, grace and how to nurture growing minds, but it was not meant to be done alone. Our goal is to offer a community for moms to grow together and in Christ.
We will begin meeting on Thursday, September 17th from 9:30am-11:00am. We cannot wait!
Childcare is available for kids 5 and under, but space is limited. Please register your child when you register.
