Encourage, Equip, Energize

When: Wednesdays 10:00am - 11:45am, September 7, 2011 - April 25, 2012

Where: Westover Hills Church of Christ

Mom-to-Mom is a program designed to encourage, equip and energize mothers with children from newborn thru elementary age for the most important job in the entire world - parenting.  Through practical, biblically-based teaching on parenting and through supportive interaction in small groups led by experienced mothers, called "Titus 2" women (after the Titus 2:4 model in the Bible) we wish to foster growth not only in our parenting skills, but in our wholeness as women - intellectually, relationally, and spiritually.

A Typical Morning

First, we gather for a large-group video series on a topic pertinent to our lives as moms.  Linda Anderson, the founder of Mom to Mom, gives sixteen “core curriculum” video lectures. The mother of three married adult children and grandmother too; Linda has a background as an educator and reading specialist.  She’s been teaching parenting groups and Bible studies for almost two decades and integrates much of her own life and reading into her biblically-based teaching.

The morning's lecture is followed by a coffee break, after which we gather in small groups led by an experienced mother, to discuss the topic of the morning and apply it to our own families.  The small groups provide a safe place to share the joys and trials of motherhood and to explore the promises and purposes God gives us as parents.

2011-2012 Curriculum

Designed for both new and returning moms, the curriculum, “Growing Together: Growing a Child = Growing a Mom,” will help us all come to know ourselves, our husbands, and our children better so that while we are growing our children, God can be growing us.
 

The year is organized around four themes:

• Personal Growth: Parents are People Too!
• Partnering Growth: Marriage is the Heartbeat of the Home—Keep it Pumping!
• Parenting Growth: As We Grow Them, He Grows Us
• Parenting Power: Keep Connected to the Source
