Comments: At Mom2Mom, we want to encourage and equip women to be intentional in their parenting, celebrate their role as mothers and grow closer to God. A childcare program for infants to age 4. So, while you snack, socialize and learn, your children will be cared for during the 2 hr period. The theme of this term is "Extraordinary Woman" and will feature a dvd selection of inspirational topics from the popular Women of Faith seminars. We are sure you'll walk away each week learning encouraging stories from women and hopefully you'll gain a new perspective on parenting. If you're looking to meet moms in your area for coffee and learning, please join us.
