Social
Playgroups

Parties
Join in on the seasonal fun of a Valentine's party, a Halloween party, a Christmas party, and a family picnic - lots of fun for everyone! If you have questions about parties, or would like to help plan them, please contact Jody M..
Mom's Night Out
Special nights when moms take a few hours for themselves to enjoy an evening of fun and relaxation...and adult conversation! Check the calendar for this month's outing. Contact Stephanie S. and Andrea D. with any questions about Mom's Night Out or to RSVP. Everyone is welcome to our monthly calendar planning meetings; usually held the first Friday of each month.
Book Club
Need something a little more mentally stimulating than another reading of Goodnight Moon or The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Check out our current newsletter for this month's reading selection. The book club usually meets the second Thursday of each month for dessert and discussion. Contact Annemarie M. with questions.
Welcoming
A Regional Welcomer from a group of St. Andrew Neighborhoods keeps in touch with new members to welcome them to the group and answer any questions they might have. A Fall Appetizer Night is held in November and a Spring Dessert Night is held in May so all current, new, and prospective members can get to know one another. Contact Heather K. or Heide K. for more information.
General Meetings
Every month (except June and December), all S.A.M.S members are invited to gather together to discuss our ministry and parish activities. Every other month after our regular discussions, we have a special speaker on topics such as water safety, stress busters or home organization. Our meetings are always the last Wednesday night of the month at 7:00 pm. We also provide FREE childcare and snacks! For more info on our meetings, contact Holly F.
Service
S.A.M.S Outreach
Develop new friendships while helping out other moms in need within the group. Two S.A.M.S members work as Outreach Volunteers each quarter. Contact Kristen A. for more information about Outreach, or to volunteer as an Outreach Volunteer.
Spiritual
Annual Retreat
Join other S.A.M.S members each winter for a day of prayer and reflection. The topic and speaker for the day may change each year, but the focus is on women's spirituality. Contact 
Jackie N. for more information about the retreat.
Ministry of Mothers Sharing (M.O.M.S.)
The purpose of M.O.M.S. is to create in women an awareness of the inner sacred self, while at the same time, teaching them new ways to inspire, encourage, and affirm each other. Through the process of personal and spiritual growth, women have the opportunity to clarify their values, claim their own giftedness, and bring these strengths to their family relationships and the larger community.
Join other moms in an 8-week session of personal reflection and spiritual growth. Contact Cheryl S. and Donna B..
