“We are looking forward to kicking off the first Moms’ Connection meeting of the year on Friday, February 16th, from 10-11:30 a.m.,” says coordinator Susan Gray. This successful program continues to serve mothers and caregivers of children ages 0 to 5. Expecting mothers are also welcomed.

The event will take place in the Parish Hall at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 495 Herbert Hills Drive in Hayesville, NC.

“Hope Burch MHS of ‘Parents As Teachers’ will be joining us. ‘Parents As Teachers’ promotes health, early development, and early intervention of young children by supporting and engaging their parents and caregivers. It will be a fun and relaxing time for moms, and their kids will have a fun activity to do in the nursery,” explains Gray who is also a member of Good Shepherd and a Social Worker at the Clay County Health Department.

As always, refreshments will be served, and there will be a drawing for a wonderful door prize.

“Remember, all moms and guardians of kids 0-5 years as well as pregnant women in Clay and surrounding counties are welcome to join us! The mission of Moms' Connection is to connect and support moms of preschoolers, and to be shown the love of Christ.” The group and the childcare is free.

Moms’ Connection meets on the third Friday of every month from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 495 Herbert Hills Dr., Hayesville, NC 28904. Susan welcomes your inquiries at 828-361-7175.
