Secret Mom's Club:
Our Program includes a SECRET MOM'S Club: In this club ladies of the church serve as "secret mom's" to girls in the Missionette program. The secret moms provide small, seasonal gifts, cards, and notes of encouragement for the girls. Each May the Secret Mom's and Daughter are revealed to each other at the Missionette Banquet. It is a very popular and fun event.

WOUNDS THAT HEAL
I remember hearing stories in high school about self-mutilation and wondering how someone could do that to her own body. It made no sense. My immediate conclusion was that it had to be for attention. What else could drive a person to do such a thing? I also remember knowing that something like that would never be a problem for me. I was too strong to ever resort to hurting myself, or so I thought.

I was a 23-year-old youth pastor trying to listen and help, feeling stunned by behavior I had heard of but never seen.
