Hey there, Mama's! We are in the final planning stages for this next semester of Mom Time, and I am so excited! Being a mom is a huge privilege and responsibility, and can sometimes be overwhelming. (I realize I'm preaching to the choir here!)
As a church, Fox River will be focusing on the "i Will's" of following Jesus. While we won't be engaging on this topic at the same level as a traditional Journey group, we will be looking at our lives as moms to see how we can impact the world around us. We will also take a look at things that rob us of contentment and joy in this time, and explore the antidote to those things.
Wondering what I'm talking about? Join us and experience it for yourself! You can sign up for Mom Time by clicking here. We meet every Tuesday from 9:30-11:00, October 4th-December 13th. Paid childcare is available and you can sign up for that online, too.
Here is what a typical Mom Time morning looks like:
9:20-9:30: Arrive and put kids in nursery
9:30-9:45: Snack and chat time, coffee and continental type breakfast provided
9:45-10:00: Welcome, announcements, and ice breaker time
10:00-10:30: Teaching Time
10:30-11:00: Break into small groups for discussion

Need Some Mom Time?
Aaahh...motherhood.
Cooing babies, giggling toddlers, children playing happily...
(Insert deep contented sigh here.)
Ok, so it does happen sometimes. But at other times, crying babies, willful toddlers, and children wrestling one another to the ground to snatch that toy back...that would be a more accurate representation. Either way, though, you are the mama. The one in charge.
As wonderful and amazing as being a mom is, sometimes we just need a chance to step back, take a breather, and hang out with people who get it. And at Mom Time, we get it.
As a leadership team, we have 22 kids between the 6 of us, ranging in age from 3 to 24. One of us is even a grandma, so when I say we get it, we really get it.
Join us this semester as we explore what God had in mind when He made you a mom, no matter how that came to be, whether through birth, adoption, fostering, or step-parenting. We will talk about contentment, things that threaten it, and how to get it. I promise we will share some laughs as well as practical help for dealing with the different issues as moms.
You can register for Mom Time at the Journey table in the gym or by clicking here. (We are #18 on the list.) See you October 4th!

Almost Time...
For Mom Time, that is! Mom Time kicks off October 4th at 9:30...watch for sign-up information at church or here on the blog. I will post a link as soon as we are able. Now is the time to start telling your friends and setting aside Tuesday mornings in your schedule. We look forward to connecting with "old" friends and making some new ones. In the meantime, go squeeze some more fun out of these last warm days...See you soon!
