Join Us for Our Next Mom’s Morning
Thursday, December 15, 8:45 a.m., Discovery House

 

Take a short break from the chaos of this holiday season and join us for spirited conversation and heartfelt support.

 

We will meet at the Discovery House at 8:45 a.m. to continue on our journey with the devotional entitled Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood as our guide. Together, we will work on nourishing our own hearts, minds, and souls with the wisdom we need to become the mothers we long to be, while garnering strength and support from our peers in a comfortable and judgement-free environment.

 

Come for as little or as long as you’d like.  Little ones are welcome. Coffee will be provided. If you have any questions or want to join us, please email Whitney Wolf at  wwolf@104.237.132.142.
