MOM’S MORNING DAY OF RENEWEL – a group for new moms

   Mom’s morning day of renewal is a support group, a prayer group and a place to explore your faith.  It is a way to meet other moms to share, encourage and to help you feel good about who you are by bringing inspiration to your new role as a parent.  We will explore topics significant to being a new mom such as

   Stress, worries and anxiety (Support systems)

   Everyday Spirituality (Meeting the spiritual needs of you and your family)

   Remembering Yourself (Personal goal setting)

   This group is open to moms of infants through preschoolers and will meet on the third Tuesday of each month beginning in January of 2009.

Please register in advance for child care.   Contact Cindi Gonzalez with any questions at 330-562-8266 Ext. 229 or cgonzalez@thechurchinaurora.org.

Disciple Bible Study—What is The Disciple Bible Study?  The Disciple Bible Study is a program that gives each member the opportunity to read and study the Bible in a small, committed group.  It is a 34 week course split into two 17 week sessions.  The first session will cover the Old Testament and the second will cover the New Testament.  At the end of the 34 weeks, a graduation service is offered and the participants receive a certificate of completion.  Each session will meet once a week on Sunday evenings for 2 1/2 hours.  The program will be led by a trained facilitator and each participant will work with the Bible and study manual which they would purchase.  The price of the workbook is $33.  The format of each session would open with a prayer, include a 20 minute video pertaining to the session, group discussion and reflection time with emphasis on prayer.  This program requires each participant to commit to both 17 week sessions as well as up to 30 minutes of daily readings and reflection. 

    We would like to start the first session of the Old Testament on January 11, 2009.  We would take a break over Easter Sunday and end on May 9, 2009.  The second session would start in September, take a two week break over Christmas and end with a 2 day retreat in January.  Again, this is a committed bible study and each participant would have to commit to this time frame.
