Dear Prospective Heart Moms,
We are excited to begin Heartfelt Friends.
The ministry is based on small groups meeting in homes hosted by Heart Moms once a month. There will be a meal, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Groups are made up of Heart Moms who teach the younger women known as Heart Sisters. The Heart Moms teach and train through lessons and example. The home atmosphere will encourage building genuine, loving, close, and supportive relationships between generations. These mentoring relationships will support the younger women as they pass their Christian faith on to their families and the next generation.
A Heart Mom is a Christian woman who honors God and agrees to help guide and influence a younger Christian sister. She is a woman who is passing on the legacy of faith and fellowship. She helps by mentoring younger women in God's teachings concerning their roles as women, wives, and moms. She shares her own joys and disappointments, her troubles and successes that she learned in building a Christian life and home. She may choose to serve as a Host Mom who shares the hospitality of her home. She may be a helper Mom who assists the Host Mom with the activities or food preparation. She may be the Bible teacher who delivers the lesson. She may be asked to step outside her comfort zone to take on one of the Heart Mom roles. A Heart Mom commits for a nine-month period.
We are very excited about this ministry. We will be encouraged in our faith and our lives. Our families, marriages, and friendships will be strengthened. Our church family will be strengthened as we build loving, close relationships with each other. (Acts 2:44-47)
Love in Christ,
Heartfelt Friends Committee
