St. Paul Mom's Morning

Welcome to the website of St. Paul Mom's Morning! 

Program Structure
Mom's Morning is a gathering time to feed your Mom soul.  In order to meet our mission statement, we aim to provide a program structure which helps you to grow as a mother and a Christian woman, as well as to simply provide support in the daily grind of mothering.  Mom's Morning is full of spirit, camaraderie and trust.  We hope to have an even balance of intriguing and relevant topics, coupled with opportunities to discuss just everyday "stuff."  We are always open to additional suggestions and our schedule is flexible!

Overview
Mom's Morning is also extremely flexible with your attendance and your children's needs.  We meet on Fridays from 9:30-11:00.  You are welcome to join us at any time.  We hope to see you as often as you are able to join us, but there is no minimum attendance requirement.  We also acknowledge that some days our children, especially our toddlers, have "off" days where they would rather be with mom than in our wonderfully staffed childcare rooms...and that's okay!  Also, babies are always welcome to stay with mom (we might make you pass them around) and nursing moms are always welcome.

In fulfilling our mission statement, we have chosen to "serve others" through our Mom's Morning Outreach program.  We offer both hands on service and simple gathering of donations for various charities and area projects.  Our hands-on service has included past projects such as painting rooms at Rick's House of Hope, a birthday party for foster care teens at the Kinsman Shelter and participating as volunteers for Up With Families.  We have also adopted a family at Christmas, donated to local food drives and donated to local women's domestic violence shelters.

Childcare
It is the goal of Mom's Morning to provide the opportunity for fellowship with other Moms.  To optimize on this fellowship, we strive diligently to provide quality childcare.  We are fortunate to have 3 full-time childcare providers who are with us almost every week, which greatly minimizes the angst for our little ones- it's great to see a familiar face!  We do pay these providers and due to that we ask for a goodwill donation each week of $3 per child.
