What is Mom Matters?

Mom Matters is a group for mothers whose children are infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and in elementary school. It recognizes the value of every mom, and seeks to support her no matter what her age, background, or circumstances may be. Mom Matters meets in the evenings so that both moms who work outside the home, as well as stay at home moms can be a part of the group. Designed and led by moms, Mom Matters meetings help mothers find friendship and acceptance in a relaxing, supportive environment. At each meeting, moms get new information and ideas that they can use to make them better, more confident mothers. They also have a chance to renew their spirit and strengthen their relationship with God. Holy Comforter is the gracious sponsor for our group, but the group is meant for moms across the Front Range.

What happens at the meetings?

Every Mom Matters meeting is different, but there is always plenty of fun, food, faith and friendship! The meetings begin with dinner brought in from local restaurants, and is followed by yummy dessert to enjoy, and an opportunity for everyone to share celebrations and news with the group. There are always fun raffle prizes, or a neat gift to take home as well. The next part of each meeting features a program that includes elements such as speakers, book studies, creative activities, service projects, panel presentations, and discussion groups. These elements cover a large range of topics that are helpful and relevant to moms, such as parenting strategies, womanhood, relationships, home matters, health and wellness, and many more. Each meeting is unique, but all meetings support moms with new ideas, friendship, faith, time to relax and reflect, and to just have fun!

At the meetings, moms gather in table groups where close friendships can develop within the larger group. Each table group is led by a discussion leader, who is also your personal connection to the larger group. Every table group also includes a mentor, a mom who has meen down the road you are traveling right now. She is there to offer you support, encouragement, hope and perspective.

The fun of Mom Matters extends outside the meetings as well. We find a variety of reasons to get together throughout the year, including movie nights, dinner out, play dates for the kids, concerts in the park, walking Race for the Cure, and more. We're also working on a Facebook group where we can share ideas, stories, recipes, and more that we have found with each other.

Where can I get more information?

To learn more about Mom Matters at Holy Comforter, you can call the church office at (303)466-2667, or you can e-mail Jamie, one of the group's coordinators, at jbugrumsey@msn.com. The best way to learn more about our group is to join us for one of our meetings!  There is no charge for your first visit, just let Jamie or the church office know you'll be joining us by the Tuesday before the meeting.

How do I join Mom Matters?

To join Mom Matters at Holy Comforter, simply print and complete the registration form, attach your payment, and return them both to the church office. You can drop them off in person Tuesday - Friday between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, or you can mail them to Mom Matters at Holy Comforter PO Box 412 Broomfield, CO 80038. You can turn them in at a meeting, too!

Participants in our group are asked to contribute to the cost of the program, including dinner, speaker fees, activity expenses, prizes, etc. by paying a yearly registration fee and dues each semester. The registration fee is $15, due at the time of registration. Dues are $50 per semester, due at the first meeting of each semester. Paying dues on a drop-in basis is another option we are offering for the first time this fall. The fee is $15 per meeting and requires that you let us know you're coming 2 days before the meeting so we can be sure to have enough food and activity supplies for you. Moms choosing this option still need to register and pay the registration fee.

We do not want this cost to be a barrier for moms to attend, so payment plans, as well as full and partial scholarships, are available. Please indicate your need for this assistance on the registration form and we will contact you. Your requests will be kept in strictest confidence.
