Welcome to motherhood… you belong here. We connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry, and embrace the journey of motherhood. MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying along side one another.

Thank You Dear Partners in Prayer, I want to thank you for your many prayers for my wife Dianne. They are so greatly appreciated and welcomed. God has revealed Himself to us through His love, mercy, and grace during this difficult time. Our prayer is that His will be done and His name glorified in all things. We are trusting Him daily and know that He is in control and that God is good all the time!

Your friends in Christ, Jim & Dianne Rex

Dear FBC, Thank you all for your prayers during our illnesses. God hears and answers and we are doing well now. We appreciate your concern.

In Christ’s Love, Bennette & Walter Morris

Dear Christian friends, Thank you so much for praying for me and my family. I am confident that God will be glorified through the struggles we are facing.

Sincerely, Ted Holt and family
