The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3
Wild, Courageous Joy! Being a mom can feel so ordinary – breakfast, dishes, laundry, pick up toys, more food, more dishes, more laundry…. Nothing is ever finished for more than ten minutes! And yet, the joy we experience when our toddler giggles or that gradeschooler still wants to snuggle up to us at night makes it all worth it. In the moments that fill our hearts to bursting with love, we feel blessed beyond measure to be given this amazing role of mom. God wants us to live in those moments drinking in the joy that comes from him – a lasting sustainable joy that transcends the drudgery of the everyday. It takes courage to take on raising these little people. We can get bogged down in the mundane, but God wants to be a part of our adventure. He wants us to experience Wild, Courageous Joy!

Discussion Groups After enjoying breakfast together and hearing the speaker’s presentation, women have time to share ideas and reflect on application questions with others at their table. Each woman is assigned to a discussion group for the year. Moms are encouraged to indicate on the registration form if there is someone with whom they would like to be seated. Dates & Times Two identical programs are offered each month from October through May. Moms attend one time per month and choose a group (A or C) to attend for the year. Both groups meet from 9:15 – 11:15 a.m. • Group A: First Thursday of the month • Group C: Third Thursday of the month (except December) Kids Together While mothers are enjoying their morning, their young children will also be enjoying a quality, age-appropriate program. Bible stories, games, crafts and snacks are highlights. Kids Together is available for children kindergarten and younger. A homeschool room is available at Group C.
