We have recently started a new myMISSION group for young stay at home mothers.
myMISSIONSM is the WMU® missions organization for young adult women. WMU leads people, individually and corporately, to be involved in missions through:
- Praying for missions
- Engaging in mission action and witnessing
- Learning about missions
- Supporting missions
- Developing spiritually toward a missions lifestyle
- Participating in the work of the church and the denomination
Our plan is to get together twice a month in homes or at parks with our children as you would a run-of-the-mill playdate. Our playdates, however, will look MUCH different. As mothers, we are called to a very special mission field that includes discipling our children. To help us accomplish this, one of our "playdates" each month will include a mission project geared towards preschoolers. They will be working WITH us. For example, we might spend a morning baking and decorating cookies to deliver to the local firestation. Or, perhaps, they help us pack" blessing baskets" to give to new mothers. The idea is that we are imparting on them a spirit of love and generosity to others with the ultimate goal of sharing the gospel.
Our other meeting will be spent encouraging each other in this mothering journey to keep a focus on missions.
We would love for you to join us! Typically we will meet the first and third Monday's of the month.
