Mom2Mom
The Mom2Mom ministry welcomes moms in our community with kids of any age to join us!
We usually meet every other Tuesday from 9-11am throughout the school year in the Chapel. Tuesday morning meetings for the moms involve breakfast together, a special speaker or Bible lesson, and small group time. We aim to connect and encourage moms in their friendships together, teach and equip moms in Godly parenting, and foster growth in their personal relationships with God.
Childcare is offered for newborns through age 12 during that time. Every childcare worker has been background checked and approved through Maywood’s Child Protection Policy class. The children’s classes ages 2 and up involve songs, Bible story time, crafts, snacks, and gym time.
The ladies also enjoy “Moms Night Out” events and park play dates. Email Amber Hicke at mom2mom@maywoodbible.com with any questions.

Book Study
Body & Soul by Lisa Whittle. Starting on Wednesday January 7th from 6:30-8:00pm in the Chapel. From anti-aging serums to diets to surgeries to workouts, we’re made aware of and told to “fix” our bodies every day. But what if we adopted a different attitude? What if we discovered that our bodies are more than just something to work hard on? What if we learned what it means to live well as bearers of God’s very image. In this 6-session Bible study from author and speaker Lisa Whittle, discover how Scripture talks about our bodies, from creation to Revelation. Learn to reconcile your body with the rest of who you are, growing in a deeper understanding of your true identity.
