Mothers and Mental Wellness

The mother of Moses found “Peace of Mind,” by placing her son in a basket and floating him down the Nile River to safety. The months of May is a time that we celebrate mothers and also acknowledge mental health and wellness. Mothers have always provided wisdom, strength, and guidance that have led men, women, boys, and girls to live holistic lives.

Isaiah 26: 3 helps us to realize the power and resource that mothers and individuals alike rely on to maintain a healthy peace of mind. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (KJV).

Join us this month as we celebrate spiritual enrichment, mothers and families, health and healing, mental health and wellness, and women.  You are invited to join our post resurrection journey to Pentecost Sunday now through June 8th, 2025. Join us and receive God’s fresh anointing with us as we go on the journey outlined below during the month of January of the 2025 year.
