About MOMS
Savor summer with your MOMS!
We thank all of you who joined our ministry this year. As our 99 members across our three meetings and at-large, you've shown our church and our community how much we value this vocation of motherhood. Our theme as we started this year was, "Just Show Up", and you have. You have rejoiced together, grieved together, prayed together and carried each other through many seasons. We are grateful for you. It isn't always easy but it's sure worth it.
We look forward to refreshing and renewing ourselves during the summer months, and we have been working on many ways for you to feel connection to our mom's group this summer. We hope you can take a look at this newsletter and try to plan that intentional time for your mama heart now. Please know that however long you have been away from MOMS, you can always come back. We're here for you with open arms.
We pray that you have sacred moments this summer where you will feel God's nearness to you: in the picnics and sunsets and fireflies, in sunny days in the pool and long evenings on the patio. And as you shuttle your kids to activities, apply sunscreen, make sandwiches, pack for vacations, wipe noses, change diapers and wash floors. . .know that God is watching you with so much love in His heart. We may be hard on ourselves, but God is too busy loving us to be anything but proud. You work hard for your family every day, and God sees you and knows how much you do to build His kingdom right there in your four walls. Carry on, mamas! God loves you and so do we. We'll see you this summer!
Love,
Your 2017-18 Leadership Team

Craft Night with the MOMS
As the "crazy" of May transitions to the long days of summer, let's get together and enjoy some fellowship and share our faith. We've planned a girls' night on May 31- making "Good Deed Beads" in honor of St. Therese, the Little Flower, with our crafty friend, Mara Ladig! Rosary night was such a success that we had to do something like this again. Think all of the fun of a girls' night combined with a beautiful spiritual craft that you can take home and use in your daily life to live the "little way" of St. Therese!
We are going to try to make extra of the crafts for the mamas who can't be there, so if you can't be there we'll be thinking of you and hopefully crafting for you as well! Also, please don't worry if you haven't been to a meeting in a while (or all year for that matter) . Know that you are always welcome at MOMS and we have enough crafts for everyone!
See you at 7 on May 31 st in the RE pod- bring a beverage and/or a snack to share and we'll have a great time! We'll have paper goods, cups and craft supplies!
Let us know if you have questions! Can't wait!
