Gloria Dei Mom and Kids Group
The Gloria Dei Mom and Kids group welcomes parents and their young children! This group meets the second and fourth Thursday mornings of each month at Gloria Dei starting at 9:30 a.m. The children play, do a simple craft, and have a snack while the moms chat!

The moms also meet the first Sunday evening of each month at 5 p.m. for dinner at an area restaurant. This is a great time for us to relax, laugh, and support each other. You do not have to attend the morning group to join us in the evening!
