Dear Prospective Sisters, 

We are so excited to start another year of Heartfelt Friends. There have been so many positive, encouraging comments about the ministry. We are ready to begin. 

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. You will be encouraged. 

A Heart Sister is a single woman, a married woman with no children, a married woman with children in the home, or a single mom with children in the home. She agrees to commit to a Home Group for nine months. A Heart Sister will be the guest of honor at a Host Heart Mom's home along with other young women. She will enjoy Christian hospitality through a meal, friendship, fellowship, and Bible study. 

Home Groups will last from 2 ½--3 hours. Sisters will not be asked to bring anything or to do any work. You are coming to be pampered and made to feel special by your Heart Moms. This is a time for you to "get away" from your responsibilities for a few hours and relax with your Heart Sisters and Moms; therefore, you are asked to arrange child care during this time. If you cannot find childcare, please let your Heart Moms know. Heart Moms pledge to help you so that you can attend your Home Group. 

During the Home Group, your Heart Moms may have a short cooking demonstration, share recipes, a meal served by your Heart Moms, a Bible study, and a take home. 

We will once be encouraged in our faith and our lives. Our families, marriages, and friendships will be strengthened. Our church family will be strengthened and increased as we build loving, close relationships with each other. (Acts 2:44-47) 

Love in Christ, 

Heartfelt Friends Committee Members
