MUMS stands for Moms Uplifting Moms in the preschool years. We are Moms with kids from pregnancy through kindergarten age who want to encourage, nurture, and refresh one another, making our mothering substantial. MUMS is a resource for information on mommy-hood and a wonderful network for building relationships with other moms.
Immanuel Bible Church's MUMS meets once a month. We do not have childcare during our meetings; we love our kids, but this is a moms-only night (nursing infants are welcome, though). We have good desserts, great speakers, and quality time for round-table discussion in small groups. We have a wide range of ages, backgrounds, lifestyles, and children, but we all share a desire to be the best mothers we can be. Our speakers and our mentors are top-notch women who recognize how important the years from pregnancy through kindergarten are for kids and their moms. We also have special activities throughout the year, both for moms and for their young ones, helping build relationships with one another.
At a time when it is normal to feel tired, overwhelmed, and underappreciated, MUMS is a place where we can come together with other moms for friendship, support and encouragement! We hope you join us this year!
Meetings are held in Rooms A209-211 at Immanuel Bible Church, 7:30-9pm.
This Year's Theme:
But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning:
great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
”therefore I will hope in him.
--Lamentations 3:21-24
Hope in Motherhood
This year in MUMS we will be spending time looking more closely at Lamentations 3:21-24. Calling to mind and hoping in the Lord in all circumstances. Our time together each month will be to remind ourselves of just that. The pattern of scripture is continually recounting the Lord’s past faithfulness and reminding us of the Lord’s provision in ALL circumstances. The Lord’s steadfast love and mercy are ever present in these little years of MUMS (and always), each moment we can be refreshed by recalling His faithfulness.
