I would like to find a friendly church with Mom and kids groups where we can meet some nice people and perhaps even find some new friends. I'm hoping all of you nice moms out there might know of some nice places.
My husband recently left active duty with the military. I don't know a lot of people here. All of the friends I have left are either single or married with no children and I would like to find some nice mom friends.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you to everyone who responded. I appreciate your input. So far, we still have not found the churc hwe are lookingfor, but we will keep looking. Take care and thank you again.
I go to Denbigh Baptist Church here in Newport News. It is very warm and friendly. They have a great Awana program, as well as "mommy and me" playgroup which I also attend every Tuesday morning. There are lots of young families, and military as well, you should fit right in. Write me back if you are interested, and I can give you more info.
God Bless!!
Hi
i know you wanted a church in that area but a couple at my church comes from way out in fort eustis so i thought maybe I should just invite you to ours. It is in Norfolk the address is 9508 Chesapeake St. Norfolk 23503. Our Pastors # is ###-###-#### and his wife is ###-###-####. Please come and give us a shot we have lots of young kids and we have a very mixed crowd. I guarantee you will love it.
Hi Jaime,
It depends on what type of worship you like. At Liberty Baptist Church, lbcmin.com, we have a contemporary style and a little more traditional. There are plenty of moms who have their husbands away with whom you can get together with for playdates. There is something going on every day of the week at Liberty. We also offer a MOPS group and Academy of the Arts. I enjoy the small group Bible Studies that Liberty offers. I doing a Ladies Mentoring Fellowship group where I have a mentor to help me grow in the Lord and help me with daily situations that I just don't know what to do. I'm also apart of other ministries, which there are many at Liberty. We even have a "Give Mom a break" twice a month where mom's can come drop their children off for a few hours in the morning to just have some time to herself and maybe run a few errands and such. It's really nice. If you'd like to join us, let me know so I can meet you and help you around. Liberty is a very LARGE church and it helps to have someone to help you around. Hope to see you there.
Go Mormons!! (real name is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) I am a member. We have moved so many times. People ask me how I do it. Why I instantly have a whole group of friends. Real friends. It is simply because of the continuity of my church family.
No matter where you go we are studying the same lessons in Sunday School. The children's theme for the year will be the same. The youth program is set up and run the same. The women's organization, called Rellief Society,(one of the oldest, largest organization for women in the world) will be learning and discussing the exact same topic throughout the world.
We believe in Christ, we worship him. There may be some fundamental differences in beliefs for you but the fellowship regardless of whether you join or not will most likely be phenomenol. If you go just ask the closest lady to point you to the Relief Society president. Let her know what you're interested in and she'll hook you up. It should be that simple.
Go to lds.org to look up a meeting house location and time. That will show you when it starts. Ninety nine percent of the women will be in dresses. There are 3 meetings and that first one will be a sacrament meeting lasting 70 minutes. (yeah, sometimes kids go a little nuts!) There will be announcements, opening song, opening prayer, ward business, blessing and partaking of the sacrament (simply remain seated while the young men (deacons) pass) and then one or two youth speakers.
Two adults will speak, maybe there will be a musical number between them. Then a closing song, closing prayer and you're done. Keep in mind that the first Sunday of each month is our Fast and Testimony meeting. Members fast 2 meals and give an offering the store house for those in the ward in financial difficulty. There are no prepared talks on that day. The pulpit is open to all members wanting to share tesimony of Christ and his gosopel.
Whew! Didn't know I had so much today. Wherever your journey takes you I wish you nothing but joy and happiness. I realize worship is a very personal thing. Just know you will always be welcome in the LDS community.
Hello My name is Wanda Morris and I am the pastor's wife of a small church in Norfolk. I know you said in the Newport News area but I think you will find our church is worth the drive. We have a family who drives from Fort Eustis every service. We have several small children in our church between the ages of newborn to 6 years old. We are a spirit filled church that is very much alive. Most all of the young children call me Granny and I love it. We are a very close knit church and we are very supportive of each other if their is a need that arises.Our church is Missionary Full Gospel we are located @9508 Chesapeake St. Norfolk, Va our ph# is ###-###-#### (home) and ###-###-#### (cell).i am 43 years old and I am the oldest lady in our church we are a fairly youthful church (age wise) We usually have about 50 in church on Sunday morning. We love God and we love people.
In his service,
Wanda Morris
Hi J.! My family and I have attending a great church in Newport News called Calvary Chapel (website: www.calvarynn.com) We absolutely love it! It's very kid friendly and there are a lot of military families. Dress is casual and they have 3 regular Sunday services (8:30a 10:00a 11:30a). Pastor Tony delivers a wonderful sermon! I'm certain you will find the right church for your family. Be blessed :)
Hi J.,
We have been in Newport News for 5 years now and have attended a few different churches and couldn't find one that just felt right. We just started going to
one that we really like. It is a small church and it just felt like home when we walked through the doors. It is the Stevens Memorial Baptist Church on 224 Richneck Road, zip code 23608. I'll be praying that God leads you where you need to be.
Blessings,
W.
Hello J.,
I don't now if you you've found something now, but I just got back to mamasource after a couple of really busy months. I attend By Grace Community Church in Newport News (a smaller church, been around almost 2 years). I can see that you have some specific things you're looking for, so I thought I'd just attach the website and let you look for yourself if you are interested. www.bygraceonline.org. Feel free to message me if you want to connect or ask any questions. L.
