The mission of this new ministry is to be Jesus to new mothers by connecting generations of women in the Church. Rise Like a Mother will pair new mothers with older sisters in the church who will come into the home for two hours once a week to hold the baby. Volunteers for this ministry are called “Deborah.”
The Deborah will sing, pray over, and read to the baby, giving the mother a short reprieve to do something at home that makes her feel refreshed.
This will be a six- to twelve-month commitment. Jesus often ministered to people’s physical needs before their spiritual ones, a practice we would like to model in this ministry.
Register for our June 21st interest meeting to learn how you can Rise Like a Mother and become a Deborah.
