Birmingham UMC has several vibrant women’s ministries from young to old; deep diving into faith and social gatherings. There is truly something for everyone. All of these ministries are led by women in the church, so it is a great way to build a community and get to know others.
Exhale is a group for Mothers with children of all ages who want to experience authentic community, mothering support, personal growth, and spiritual hope.
The word “exhale” is to breathe out intentionally. Our prayer is for moms to be intentional about making time for themselves and to be intentional about being part of a group that will help them grow in their walk of faith and to grow as women, wives, and mothers.
Interested? We’d love to hear from you! Please email us at exhale.moms@gmail.com.
