MOTHERHOOD IS HARD. To the mothers with young children, do you sense heaviness, and a need for your motherhood burdens to be lifted? A need for there to be less on your plate, less on your mind, less on your hearts? The WSCS presents ‘Risen Moms’, a community of mothers to provide support based on biblical truth, no matter how you feel about motherhood. It is for the imperfect mother, still learning, still growing and still fully recognising she does not have it all together, but we serve a God who does.

Join the first season of Risen Moms, as we come together to encourage, equip and challenge moms to apply the biblical truths to their everyday lives. Watch the video here.
