Time for R.E.C.E.S.S.

Moms of young children, come take a break this Tuesday morning at Christ Church. Our new RECESS Bible study program starts at 9:15 and will offer time away from the kids and a chance to have some grown-up conversation and discussion about subjects dear to our hearts. RECESS stands for Renewal, Encouragement, Comfort, Empowerment and Spiritual Stimulation - sounds good, doesn't it?

The R initially stood for "refreshment", but I was afraid that would be misconstrued as "breakfast buffet" (LOL), so in order to avoid the stress of someone having to bring food all the time, I changed it to "renewal"! The point is that you'll leave RECESS feeling better than when you came. You'll at least learn you're not alone on your journey of child-raising, and I pray you'll find RECESS to be a place where you can be yourself, share your experiences, and receive loving guidance from other moms and from God's Word. Visit the GottaWearShades website for more info.

This week's inaugural meeting will be hosted by Sally Spires and Langie Mannion, and they'll be leading a segment from Lifeway's "Mom to Mom: Growing Together" program - a Bible study curriculum that combines video lessons with group discussion. And just in case someone arrives hungry, not just for fellowship but for food, Sally promised to bring some snacks until we get this whole "refreshment" thing cleared up. So this Tuesday the "C" in RECESS just may stand for "cereal bar"! ;-)
