Looking to stay connected over the summer? Come hang out with us at Summer Park Days! We’ll gather at local parks on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from June through August. In addition to park play, each playdate will include an activity such as bubbles, chalk, nature scavenger hunt, etc. for a little added fun. These casual meetups happen outside of the regular MomCo season, and there’s no registration required—just show up! Everyone is welcome.

Meet-ups begin at 10am and wrap up around lunch time.

“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.” Ephesians 2:19 (NIV)

WE SAVED YOU A SEAT.

You know that feeling of I don’t belong here? The quiet middle-school cafeteria panic of not knowing where to sit. It’s funny how we grow up on paper — jobs, kids, bills, calendars, but we still walk into a room feeling the same way. We wonder: Is it just me? Am I the only one who’s lonely?

Somewhere between cafeterias and carpool lines, we acquired 1224 friends on Instagram, but not one person we’d feel comfortable calling in a crisis. We got busy, started using ChatGPT as our therapist, and now we spend more time analyzing our lives than living them. We’re great at managing schedules and terrible at saying, “Want to come over?”

Maybe it’s because we’ve spent the last few years optimizing our mornings, workouts and wardrobes into a boring beige minimalism. The result? We’re burnt out, lonely and tired of feeling overwhelmed. It’s time to slow things down. Less maximizing every minute, more backyard hangs. More remembering who we are when we’re not doing it all alone. We’re longing for more life and real community.

Into that ache, Jesus speaks with surprising clarity: “I have called you friends.” And then he hands us to each other. This year at MomCo, we’re going back to something wildly simple: We’re bringing back analog friendship. It’s time to be known again.

And so, how about we not play it cool? Let’s bring back earnestness.

You said “I love you” too early. Perfect! This world is numb enough.
Stop dancing around the perimeter of your life and start busting a move under a real disco ball.
Bring back things that feel handwritten, not algorithmic.
Here’s to friends that your kids call “Auntie.”
And being glad that people showed up at your door unexpectedly.
Loneliness is out, friendship is in.

This isn’t a rehearsal, this is the show, and we are going to make it spectacular.
