“My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
2026-2027
Meeting Schedule
We meet twice a month on Wednesday evenings, 6:30–8:00 PM, at West Salem Christian Church. Childcare is provided for those who need it.
One meeting each month centers on biblical teaching — equipping us as mothers to stand firm in what we believe and build a foundation of unshakable faith in our children, echoing this year's theme, Unshakable Faith. The second meeting features an activity or craft, giving us space to fellowship with one another. Every gathering includes prayer, inspired by a breath prayer rooted in Scripture.
This is a safe place to find community, grow in your faith, and pray for your kids. If that sounds like what you've been looking for — join us. We'd love to have you!

Becoming a Mom of Grace
Praying Scripture for our Children
Motherhood is hard. As moms, it’s easy to worry about our kids and wonder what we can do to be the best moms we can be. God has given us a powerful resource in His Word and we can pray that over our children! We need God’s grace daily in our lives, especially in our motherhood journey. Becoming a Mom of Grace will walk you through 31 scriptures with background context and a corresponding prayer to pray for your children. Additional space is provided for journaling your own prayers or thoughts. As you pray God’s Word over your children, you will better see God’s grace active in their lives and in your life as well. My prayer is for your faith and trust in the Living God to grow as you pray scripture over your children.
