Spring Celebration
Join us for a morning of good food and unhurried fellowship as we celebrate another year together.
Childcare will be offered for MOMS. When you register for MOMS, you'll also be able to register for childcare.
Space is limited for childcare. Please endeavor to find your own childcare whenever possible. This opens up space and allows those who have no other childcare options to attend MOMS. If you plan to participate in MOMS childcare, please register as soon as possible. Childcare must be requested by September 7.
Payment for the Fall semester childcare is required at the time of registration. The cost for the Fall semester is $30 for one child, $48 for two, and $60 for three or more. We do not want the cost to keep anyone from attending MOMS; contact Cynthia McGill about available scholarships. All moms with children in the program will be asked to serve once each semester, so two times during the year. The childcare coordinator will contact you to arrange a date for you to serve.
Cancellations: In order to be wise stewards of our financial and caregiver resources, please call our campus childcare coordinator, Lisa Burk (612-338-7653 x495), if you will not be bringing your child(ren) on any given week—even if it is at the last minute.
