Central Moms gathers & encourages mothers, including expecting and new moms to those with teens.
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 door on the southwest side of the building facing Whilden Court. 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! Kids will be fed a simple meal, have a short video story and project, and then have lots of time and space to play. Babies-in-arms are always welcome to join their mamas.
Please note: our child care staffing is limited and our programming is best suited for lower elementary age kids and younger. Central Moms Meetup nights are a good opportunity for quality time for the kids to spend with Dad or grandparents, if available, so that we can provide good care for families that don't have those options. Thank you! ❤️
If possible, please let us know ahead of time if your kids will be joining us by sending a message or email. And hey, we're all moms here, and we certainly know how quickly plans can change! If you need to bring your kids so you can come, please do 😘 it’s really OK!
***************************
Central Moms is a local meetup of The MomCo (check it out at www.themom.co)!
Our 2024-25 theme is "Wild Hope", where we will:
Be Open to Receive
Build Endurance
Live Passionately
Do you ever feel like your pilot light has gone out? Like the spark that once fueled your passion, clarity, and energy has been dimmed under the mental load of motherhood? Perhaps it’s the need to make 1 million decisions a day (so many decisions!) that causes you to never really feel confident you’re doing it right. Maybe you are in a season where you feel you are not showing up well for yourself or others; just going through the motions, trying to get to the end of the week.
That is about to change because we’re declaring this the year of new things. A new season needs a new strategy, and we choose wild, contagious hope. Hope is not a passive exercise in wishing; it’s an active approach to living life engaged. Hope is generative. In Proverbs 13:12 we read, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Hope provides clarity, vision and vitality.
Looking at the adversity and division that seems to be seeping into the fabric of our culture, hope offers another option – the opportunity to see new paths and ways of living that we might not have considered before. It reminds us that we can make a positive difference in our families and communities and that tough times will not paralyze us. Hope requires courage and trust because to see the new thing God is doing likely means going into the wilds – paths that take us through uncomfortable places and challenges that nourish our deepest longing.
God is doing something new, and we can get our hopes up. It’s time for Wild Hope.
