Buried beneath the surface of children’s selfish or impulsive behavior is the treasure of valuable raw talent, created for God’s purposes. Because it is often used in hurtful ways, parents tend to punish the misbehavior without regard for the raw talent. In this workshop you will learn to identify and constructively build on your child’s “gift-gone-awry” so he or she will be motivated to use it for more honoring ways. This grace-filled approach is both solidly biblical and highly effective in addressing misbehavior as you bring out the best in your kids! Moms ROCK welcomes all parents, parents-to-be, and anyone else interested in joining. Gatherings include brunch and relaxing social time, followed by uninterrupted time to focus on the day’s guest speaker.

Wednesday, October 23, 6:30-8:00pm 
All adults are invited to join our R.C.I.A. candidates and sponsors as we explore together what is distinctive and beautiful about living the Catholic faith. We especially encourage those who have unanswered questions about Catholicism, as well as those who are looking for a way to strengthen their faith. There is no fee to participate, though we do ask for an RSVP to assist us in planning and preparing.

Weekend of October 26/27

A labyrinth is a walking meditation that integrates mind, body, and spirit in prayer. Pax Christi has an outdoor labyrinth which is self-directed and available year round. Indoor labyrinth walks are available monthly. A topic is explored in a group setting prior to the monthly indoor walks.

All women, ages 21 and older, are invited to join us for an evening of faith and friendship. Utilizing the reflections of Sr. Joan Chittister from her book, The Friendship of Women: The Hidden Tradition of the Bible, we will explore how women in the Scriptures serve as models of wisdom for our relationships today. Refreshments and wine (including non-alcoholic options) will be served. Be sure to register as soon as possible, as last year’s event was a sell-out, and we anticipate that to be the case again this year.
