A New Day, A New Beginning
Bright and early they arrived, one by one, until 400 single moms filled the breakfast room with their laughter and excited chatter. The day had just begun and yet, there was much more ahead. After coffee and sweet fellowship, our moms enjoyed a free shopping spree in our fabulous Clothing Boutique - filled with great clothing, shoes, purses, jewelry, and gifts! The day continued with a time of worship and interpretive dance. Several speakers followed who encouraged, informed, and entertained the moms with their talks and practical tips on doing life as a single mom. Faithful volunteers prayed one-on-one with several ladies in the prayer room which remained open all day. As the moms sat down to an elegant and delicious 5-course luncheon, the Sheridan House staff and volunteers stood by to serve and shower these precious moms with the love of Jesus!
The moms were encouraged to start "A New Day, A New Beginning" in their journey with God and as a parent. As we warmly hugged each mom good-bye at day’s end, the smiles and the tears on their faces left no doubt that this day had indeed been a "New Beginning."
