4. SJN MOMS Ministry

SEEKING a wonderful and gentle kid-loving group of adult parishioners and friends to help support the SJN MOMS Ministry. Beginning Sept. 21, we will meet two Tuesdays a month from 9:30-11:30 am and assist each other in finding balance, joy, and happiness by helping each other encounter Jesus and deepen our relationship with Him. Sharing your gift of time – caring for and interacting with our young children, ages 1-5 – will not only help us take time to grow in our faith but also may benefit you in many ways! You will be making a difference for our group. We hope to have four people during each meeting.

Please consider this worthwhile opportunity, whether you are able to commit to every meeting or occasionally! Volunteer's Essential-3 credentials must be current. If interested or have questions, please contact Julie Larson at NL.andJL.@gmail.com or 612-987-9146 to sign up or for any questions.
