We are starting a new ministry at church called Meals for Moms and Kristen Predovich will be leading this endeavor. Please read the following note from Kristen about this ministry for further information.

I am really excited about Meals for Moms which provides dinners for women and their families for two weeks after they have a baby. The church we attended in Seattle did this for us when we had Lukas and it was so wonderful to not have to think about what to make for dinner or having to run to the grocery store!
We are currently providing meals for the Shuster family. We have another woman who is due this Saturday that I need to get meals scheduled for! I am sending this email to everyone so that you all have an opportunity to be involved as often as you feel called.
Meals for Moms works this way: I speak to the mom-to-be and find out if she has anyone in mind that she would like to bring her meals. If so, I will contact those people and ask if they are able to bring a meal for the entire family. I would like to also have a list of people who will be "alternates" that I can call on if I am unable to fill all of the meals. We will provide meals either Monday through Friday or Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for two weeks. We ask that all meals are brought in disposable dishes so that there is no worrying about washing the dishes and getting them back to the right person.
Meals should include an entree, salad, and dessert that you deliver to the home of the new Mom. You can say hello to the new baby and congratulate the Mom at that time. That's it! You will bless each family you cook for so much by this small act ... I can tell you from personal experience!
As I mentioned above, we have a mom-to-be who is due THIS SATURDAY! Alison Dunser is due with her first baby, Jayden, on January 16th. If she doesn't have the baby by that day her doctor is planning on inducing her sometime next week. So meals would either start Monday the 18th or the next Monday the 25th. She is requesting meals on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday both weeks so I need 6 volunteers to cover all of the meals. She lives in Mound, about a half hour from the church, and the meals would be delivered between 5 and 6 PM on your scheduled day. If you are interested in blessing Alison and her family, please email me back ASAP with the day (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday and week one or week two. Once I know she has had the baby, I will email everyone with their exact date.
Also, if you would be willing to be on my "alternate" list, please let me know. If I need to use an alternate, I will go down the list so you won't be asked each and every time someone has a baby!
Finally, thank you so much for being a part of this ministry. The families you bring meals to will be blessed, but I know that you will also be blessed for reaching out and loving these families.
Blessings to all of you for your generosity!
