Ice Cream...What's Not To Love?

Orientation...

Orientation was fantastic! It was great to see both new and old friends of Student Wives (including a few husbands who dropped by to hang out with our volunteers). I've included a couple of pictures in case you missed the event.

Lisa Menditto, Heather Holdsworth, and Kelly Lillpop manned (womaned?) the table at orientation. It was fun, but we may have eaten way too much chex mix....

If you're new to Moody, as an fyi, Lisa is the Student Wives Coordinator. If you have prayer requests or need some help getting settled in Chicago, feel free to email Lisa - lisa.menditto@moody.edu

Again, we really enjoyed meeting you all and hope you will be able to join us at Student Wives this year. As always, if you have questions, please email moodyswf@gmail.com

FAQs...

If you are new to Moody you may ask yourself: “What is Student Wives?” “Why should I come?” “Does it cost anything?” “Will other women my age or in my stage of life be there?”

The answers to those questions, and more, can be found in the FAQs below. If you have further questions, please feel free to email moodyswf@gmail.com

What is Student Wives?
Student Wives is a free ministry to the married women of Moody Bible Institute. Whether you or your husband is the student, we invite you to attend.

When and where is Student Wives?
Student Wives is held Thursdays, from 6 to 9 p.m in the Kimball Room at MBI.

Who attends Student Wives?
A variety of women at all stages of life attend Student Wives – Some are supporting their husbands through school by working full-time. Others are raising children at home. Many are full and part-time students who either attend MBI with or without their husbands.

I hear there is a free dinner. Is this true?
Yes! Moody values the ministry of Student Wives and provides a free dinner every Thursday. Wives can also bring the leftovers home to their husbands - no cooking and no cleaning involved.

Is childcare available?
Free childcare during our Thursday meetings is available. However, a meal is not provided, so kids should have dinner before coming.

What if I can’t come every week?
Then come on the weeks you can! We understand that your many roles in life – mother, wife, student, ministry worker, etc. – can be demanding. We will miss you when you’re not there, but understand.

I have to come straight from work/school/ministry and will be late. Is that ok?
Definitely. Student Wives follows a similar format each week and always begins with dinner. So, if you’re a few (or even 30) minutes late you’ll mostly likely miss just a bit of the dinner time.
