Moms and Tots
TBD
Location: Meeting in various outdoor spaces and parks over the summer. Email for details! If it rains, meeting at Mercy in Nursery room.


The Mom’s and Tot’s at Mercy for ages 0-5 would offer an opportunity for kids and caregivers to meet, learn, and growpray together. The group would aim to create a supportive network where caregivers can bond and share experiences, but also invite little kids to interact with their peers. There will be a time for prayer at every meeting, and we plan to suggest one topic related to raising little kids each meeting, so that we have a starting point for discussions and connection.
