Moms with kids of all ages are welcome! It’s also a great opportunity for older moms to share wisdom and encouragement with younger moms.

Helping Hands 
Helping Hands is a ministry that provides meals to individuals and families in our church body during times of need. It’s a practical way to live out the “one anothers” of Scripture—caring for each other and bearing one another’s burdens. If you’d like to be part of this ministry and receive meal sign-up opportunities, please contact the church office at [email protected].
