Moving on After Moving In (MOAMI)
This non-denominational Christian program is about making transitions in a faith-based manner. It is for women who are experiencing any of life’s transitions, predominantly relocation to a new community, but other new situations as well: retirement, loss of a loved one, aging, difficult medical diagnosis, change of any kind. We pray and work toward emotional health and spiritual growth.
You will learn how to let go and discover how to cherish the past and leave anything behind that might keep you from experiencing joy on your journey forward. This program will also help empower you to embrace whatever new stage in life you’re in and choose to be open to where God is leading you.
