Mamas with Commas – Story & Food Swap

Who: Ladies of Covenant are invited to join us for our next Mamas with Commas event: Any female student, spouse, or friend of the seminary is welcome.

Mamas with Commas is designed for ladies who are juggling multiple roles such as grad student, mother, ministry leader, spouse, etc. But if the topics are of interest to you, and you're female, please do join us.

What: We'll share snacks, swap stories from the semester, have a short devotional about the mighty shoulders of God we can lean on, and share some of the load on our shoulders through some optional meal trade ideas. Hope to see you there!

Optional Activity: Cook once, eat twice! Before our gathering, cook two batches of a meal your family enjoys. Bring four refrigerated or frozen servings for a meal swap. If possible, label ingredients. As you're able, you could also bring favorite recipes, quick meal ideas, or time saving meal prep tips. If you bring a meal, you'll go home with a different one.

How: Just come! RSVP is welcomed for yourself and required for any kiddos (families of students only please) who would like childcare at the Log Cabin.
