Mom's Ministry - Ministry of Mothers Sharing

Coming this Fall to St. Mary's

Mothers of all ages and in all stages are encouraged to join us.

“It meant so much to take time for myself and to share the joys and challenges of motherhood with a trusted friend.”

What is M.O.M.S.?

Begin the new year of 2012 with a renewed focus! The Ministry of Mothers Sharing (M.O.M.S.) is an outreach ministry that enables women to gain a stronger focus and awareness of their inner self and teaches mothers new ways to inspire, affirm and learn from each other.   This is an opportunity to explore key themes in our lives.

Join us for this six week session, two hours each week (starting January 24th). We will meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm-9:00pm in the basement of the Parish Center. Share with other women the stresses, concerns, joys and positive experiences that influence personal and spiritual growth. Facilitators will guide participants through the six weeks focusing on topics such as: self-esteem, connectedness, everyday stress, choosing priorities, personal growth and enhancing spirituality, all in a small group setting.

The cost is $45.00 which includes all materials and a wonderful celebration of motherhood. Class is led by the M.O.M.S. peer Ministry team. For more information and to sign up, please call Christy Riley, 847-254-5807, email: ccr205@gmail.com or Barb Mockus at 708-203-9911, email: mockus@sbcglobal.net

The due date for sign up is Wednesday, January 18th. If you are thinking that you do not have time for this experience, then M.O.M.S. is really for you.
