Summertime Plans!

Yeah for summer!! No more school. No more rushing out the door at the crack of dawn. No more packing lunches.

Vacation time is here...even if vacation is simply staying in your PJs past 9am!

Of course summer also means all day, every day with the cutest munkins in the world. All the more reason to make sure you are at every MRM meeting this summer!

We're kicking off the summer with a "Moms Only" dinner at Chili's for our June meeting.

In July, we will have a Kindergarten teacher come and speak to us about the changes coming for many 5 year olds. She will give some helpful tips that are applicable to all moms whether your kids will be starting school or not.

To end the summer in August we will have a topical study on Health and the Bible. What does the Bible say about health? Does God care what we eat?

Courtney and I also look forward to playdates! We will keep the blog updated on any events we schedule as a group.

On June 8th when we meet at Chili's we will have a sign-up sheet for host houses. If you would like to open your home for July or August (or any other month) please let us know!

A New Beginning

Tonight MRM ushered in 2 new leaders as we said goodbye (not really) to one of the founding moms. Melissa helped create Mothers Reaching Mothers out of necessity when she moved here 3+ years ago.

Before MRM there wasn't a place for Christian mothers to join together every month for support and encouragement. MRM truly is Melissa's baby.

Now that she has helped raise it out of infancy she is ready to start a new phase, one that will meet the needs of mothers with children in grades K thru 3rd. Melissa is handing over leadership of the birth-pre K group to Autumn and Courtney.

We are all so grateful for all the hard work Melissa put in over the past 3 years. I can't wait to see how God blesses both groups over the coming months and years.

I was excited to see the new moms at tonight's meeting. I encourage all of you to bring a friend to the June meeting. This summer we plan to have fantastic speakers to entertain and educate all of us.

Remember if you need childcare it's free! Just call Trinity Baptist Church by the Wednesday before the next meeting to reserve your spot.

May MRM Meeting

"If you help a mother love her life, you will help a family. And as families go, so goes society."
"Invest in a mother, influence a family, improve a community, and impact the world!"
These are just a few quotes on the importance of the role of mothering. It is easy to get bogged down in the business and routine of our lives and slowly forget the important position we hold as mothers. What an awesome responsibility we have to nurture and care for the children that God has blessed us with. I pray that we do not take lightly the lives God has called us to lead as mothers. We have been chosen to do an extraordinary job...that of raising children! God bless!!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
