WELCOME TO MOMSCONNECT!!

ABOUT MOMSCONNECT...

MOMSConnect is a place for mothers in the early stages of motherhood through when their youngest child is finished with the 5th grade to come together to encourage each otherthrough all the joys and trials of mothering.


MOMSConnect is also a community of moms - where you'll find women who believe mothering is more than just kids 24/7. At MOMSConnect, you'll find moms who understand what each other are going through, what we need as moms, women, and wife’s, and absolutely no judgmental attitudes.
MOMSConnect South Haven Area is now better than ever, with new and engaging speakers, books, resources, refreshments, creative activities and outside events.

MEETINGS...

The second Monday of each month MOMSConnect meets in the morning, with child-care provided through our Moppets program. The meeting is from 9:15 – 11:15, and provides breakfastMOMSConnect is also introducing special activities the third Monday of each month to build relationships: some with our children, and others for just a “Mom’s Time Out”.
Then, on the 4th Monday of each month is an evening meeting, held in the Hartman Building (355 Hubbard St, South Haven). There is no child-care provided, and is from 6;30 – 8:30 p.m. with snacks and dessert.

MOPS Meeting, Jan. 23, 2009



Here are some pictures of MOPS. There was a Mentor Moment from Debbie, prayer, and time to share our thoughts on Identity - as a woman, mom, and wife. It was a very relaxing time, and friendships were created and strenghtened. We also made coasters from tiles and will take them home after they dry.
