This group normally meets on the second Sunday of the month. This month, due to Mother's Day on the 11th, the group will gather after church on May 18th, 12 pm, in the common room. The emphasis for the next few months will be to reflect on the virtues we want to foster in our children. Each session will follow the same basic format: introductions, reflection on a definition of our selected virtue, a time for sharing thoughts on selected scripture passages, followed by a discussion about how to practice the virtue with our children. The first virtue will be mercy. Just show up and be ready to chat. Childcare provided.
