You will be welcomed with breakfast or dinner, depending on the session you attend, and gather around table groups of women just like you. Speakers, relevant topics, honest conversation, and mentor-led discussions create real connection. God’s Word is shared in easy-to-understand ways. KidsCare programming for nursery to elementary age students is included, free of charge. Choose Tuesday evenings or Wednesday mornings. Invite other moms!

Cost: $175 (Scholarships and/or payment plans are lovingly available per need.)
