We have a place for you!
More about Moms Connection
Does your child throw tantrums at the grocery store? Do you secretly wish for a dryer that folds and puts all that laundry away? Do you beg your kids to eat more than goldfish and chicken nuggets? You’re not alone!
Moms Connection is just the place for you – We’re all moms seeking to grow in our relationships with God, our husbands, and with our kids. And we’re all normal, sometimes sleep-deprived, and experiencing the same things.
I’ve been blessed by Moms Connection since 2011 and gained valuable insight as well as precious friendships. It’s always time well spent, and recharges me, no matter how my day may have started.
Come for the fellowship, refreshment, and time away from mommy-duties for a couple hours, and leave encouraged and challenged!
Our scripture theme this year comes from Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
I’d like to invite all moms to join us as we grow and dwell in God this year. I look forward to meeting you.

What are the sessions like?
Moms Connection begins after your drop-off of children ages 0-5 to their age-appropriate class. Here they will enjoy their own program under the supervision of the Promiseland childcare workers.
Moms Connection moms then meet in Room 201 where we will sit in small groups (each mom is assigned to a small group of about 8-10 women, complete with a table leader to oversee the needs of the group). There will be a Mentor Mom at each table to provide encouragement and one-on-one support when needed.
Meetings begin with a short prayer followed by a potluck hot breakfast (small groups take turns bringing food). Welcome, greetings and announcements come next.
Then an invited speaker will share on topics related to marriage, parenting and spiritual growth.
Special Events
Special events outside the regular Moms Connection sessions are put together either as a small group event or an overall Moms Connection group event. Examples of these activities are: Play dates at the park, moms night out, family night out, craft nights, and couples date nights.
Volunteer
Volunteers provide the backbone to a successful Moms Connection season. Every season, motivated moms step up to become leaders in the ministry. We are dedicated both behind and in front of the scenes to make Moms Connection a fun, supportive and rewarding experience for everyone!
