Weekly Groups
Mothers & Others (M&O) – Off for the summer and will resume in the fall.
This is a ministry that provides spiritual and emotional support and loving fellowship to mothers and moms-to-be. We seek to equip moms with tools for life and encourage the development of meaningful and supportive relationships with each other. The weekly program alternates between a Bible study with small group discussions, and guest speakers covering spiritual and practical issues related to marriage, parenting, and spiritual growth. Come when you can! Program provided for children pre-K and younger. Contact Amy at Amy Moore or ext. 173
Other Mothers – Off for the summer and will resume in the fall.
This group consists of women who are "Other Mothers" - graduates of Mothers and Others.

SOUL CARE...turning our hearts to spiritual formation and direction.
Bombarded with NOISE- the freeway traffic, the pace of our lives, the blasts of music, the ring of the cell phone or the pressure of emails? We are invited to be still...to listen and be silent to hear God speak. In this fast paced information age- we need to not just acquire knowledge of the Lord Jesus and His Word, but to let our lives be FORMED by that relationship with the living Lord.
Join us for monthly opportunities to experience exercises in spiritual formation and disciplines- to learn of the early church fathers and mothers and how they grew deep in their pilgrimage with Jesus.
Spiritual formation encourages you to focus on the deep questions of how God is working and moving in your life- to see how you are being formed into the likeness of Christ. Whether with the aid of a spiritual director, or in some of the disciplines and exercises in prayer and practicing the presence of God, we invite you to take CARE of your SOUL!
For further information, Contact Pastor Care Crawford and the Congregational Life Department.
