Motherhood – A Rollercoaster Ride
At the end of last month, 17 mums from King’s Church and New Life Salford went along to a Care for the Family event called “Motherhood – a rollercoaster ride”. This event was run by Care for the Family, which is a great organisation that seeks to promote strong family life.
In a society that often under-values the importance of motherhood, it was great to go along and be encouraged that being a mum is a high and important calling. We received some helpful ‘top tips’ and were reminded to keep focused on the important things, like giving our time and attention to our kids, rather than trying to maintain a ‘perfect’ house. This event was also a very entertaining evening, with some lighthearted and comedy takes on the day to day challenges that we can face as mums. It was great fun to laugh together, realising that we’re not alone in our experiences.

Mother’s at King’s Church really value the support and encouragement of one another. If you are a Mum and don’t currently feel connected to other Mums in the body, you could speak to Lisa Beattie, Emma Champion or Jane Barrow to find out about day-time fellowship with mums, toddlers and babies during the week. Come along, have fun, be encouraged and eat cake!
