Central Moms gathers & encourages mothers with their first baby on the way all the way through school-aged children.
Come and enjoy dinner (great food you didn't have to make!), conversation (with adults!) and an encouraging teaching designed just for moms. ❤️
🍲 If you are able to help with dinner, you can sign up on the webpage linked in the event discussion. We love how so many help out, in small and big ways, to make this a great meal to share together. Thank you!
🚪 Please enter the building through the side door on the southwest side of the building. There is a small parking area there to get you nice & close to the door 😉
👶 We have a great space to provide child care during our Central Moms gatherings! However, staffing is limited and our programming is best suited for lower elementary age kids and younger. Please consider our Gathering nights to be a good opportunity for quality time for the kids with Dad or grandparents, so that we can provide good care for families that don't have those options available. Thanks! ❤️
If possible, please let us know ahead of time if your kids will be joining us by commenting on the childcare sign-up posted in the discussion. Babies-in-arms are always welcome to join their mamas. And hey, we're all moms here and know how plans change! If you need to bring your kids so you can come, please do 😘 it’s really OK! Kids will be fed a simple meal, have a short video story and project, and then have lots of time and space to play.

🍦Be Here Now
It’s amazing how one little word can change your life. But too often, our ‘yeses’ are reserved for default decisions we aren’t even intentionally making or the stuff we feel obligated to do. What if we started saying ‘yes’ to the important things? Yes, to parenting on purpose. Yes, to significant challenges and out-of-your-comfort-zone opportunities. Yes, to your marriage. Invitations to connect with others? Yes, please. Saying yes opens us up to new ways of thinking and helps cultivate a growth mindset.
To clarify, we’re not talking about people-pleasing or over-extending yourself. In fact, it’s the opposite. Developing a ‘yes’ mindset is living intentionally, focused on your goals for yourself and your family. It’s about listening to God’s still, small voice and doing the brave things rather than the easy things.
Now is your opportunity to develop a spirit of adventure and make new memories. Now is your chance to invite your kids along for the thrill that comes with doing hard things. You are wildly capable. Get uncomfortable. Persevere and say yes to the next small, brave step God asks you to take.
