Mom to Mom coming up this Thursday!

Moms, don’t forget that our long-awaited first Mom to Mom meeting of 2010 is almost here! Join us this Thursday as Shirley Moore from Grace Chapel speaks to us: “To Whom Shall We Go?” We all enjoyed hearing from Shirley last year and I know many of you are looking forward to hearing her again.

We’ll also have an opportunity in our small groups to discuss volunteering on the Mom to Mom team. Would you come thinking about how you might be involved?

Come for a great brunch and a time to connect while your kids have fun in their childcare! Don’t forget – first time visitors are free. Looking forward to seeing you there.

9:30-11:30, Thursday, February 4, Zion

Good news!

Although we had to cancel our January meeting, we are happy to announce that our speaker, Steve Allen, has agreed to come and speak to us in April instead.  We look forward to hearing what Steve has to say on grief and suffering.

And don’t forget about our next meeting:  February 4, 9:30 am at Zion Church.  Our speaker will be Shirley Moore.  If you were here last spring for Shirley’s presentation, you KNOW you don’t want to miss it!

Did I mention the awesome food?  And the childcare??

See you February 4!

January Mom to Mom will NOT be rescheduled

Hello Moms! I am sorry to report that our January meeting is permanently canceled. However, for those of you who were looking forward to hearing from Steve Allen (like me!), he will very, very likely be rebooked for a month in the near future. Can’t wait to see you all in February. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a bit more. Persevere!

Recap: December 3

Holly Smith, our beloved leader of the Mom to Mom ministry, and her husband Justin are shown in this photo. Justin spoke at the last meeting on the Myers Briggs personality profiles and how God has given each of us different preferences within our personalities. Whether it comes up in marriage or in parenting, our differences can be assets in our families.

As an ESFJ married to her polar opposite, I know I greatly appreciated Justin’s expertise. Our small group time, in particular, was fun, encouraging and supportive. Thank you, Justin, for speaking!

Upcoming Meeting: November 5

Join us at Mom to Mom ONE WEEK from today! We’ll meet on Thursday, November 5, from 9:30 to 11:30 at Zion Church. Cost is $7; brunch and childcare are provided.

We will be listening to a panel discussion on educational options for our children. Hope to see you there!
 

Looking for Leadership

The Mom-to-Mom Leadership Team is looking for new members for the 2010-2011 school year. Please prayerfully consider serving (you can work with food, kids, planning, communication, registration, etc) and speak with Holly Smith about joining the team. Thank you!

Recap: October 1

Nancy Johnson was our latest speaker at Mom-to-Mom. As soon as I receive notes from her talk, I’ll post them here. Nancy is a huge encouragement to me and other women at Redeemer. It was our privilege to hear her words of wisdom from 60 years of marriage!
