Women’s Bible Study
The month of May we will be studying “Debunking the Myth of the Ideal Mom”. Did God give us a formula for Motherhood? This series will help you understand that God has created us uniquely and has a different plan for each of us and our children and that Motherhood should be about seeking God’s will in our lives and the lives of our children, not about putting family life and children before everything else. As mothers, we need to evaluate whether our parenting decisions are based on God’s guidance or social expectations and ideals. if you have a journal, you may want to bring it and journal while we learn what God tells us about Motherhood. Coffee, tea and dessert served @ 7:00 p.m. on Wed. nights. Come join and be blessed!!!!
