Griefshare
Saturdays | Starting August 20 | 10am | GriefShare, a special help seminar and support group for people experiencing grief and loss, is starting back up again on August 20. This round, they are meeting on Saturday mornings. It is a 13-week cycle that you can join at any time. Contact Pat Bialecke, 815-353-5804 for more information.
MOPS & MOMSnext
Our local MOPS Group, is starting their 2022-2023 meeting year. They meet 2 times a month on Fridays, 9am - 11am, (please check the calendar for dates) in the upstairs Children's Center. It is a time of togetherness for moms of preschool-aged children. Each meeting they have a special emphasis with projects, special speakers, and sharing the word of God. Children are well cared for by background-approved workers. Children have crafts, snacks, playtime, and Bible stories. MOPS will be having an open house on Friday, August 19 from 9:30-10:30am. They invite you to join them and bring a friend. Their first actual meeting will be on August 26, from 9-11am. For more information and to contact a group member - use https://www.mops.org/groups/manteno. We also have a local MOMSnext group, which is geared towards mothers of kids in school. They meet every other Tuesday night at 7pm. There is no childcare provided as this is a much-deserved night out for moms. Again, the best way to get more information is https://www.mops.org/groups/momsnextmanteno
