Early Childhood Music Classes

There is an awesome opportunity for the moms of children 18 mos. to 5 years. 

"MBI Community Music School is offering early childhood music classes!  Classes follow the Musikgarten curriculum, "God's Children Sing", and are designed to encourage the child's musical development.  Group classes are available for ages 18mo.-5 years (with caregiver) and meet once/week on Thursday nights.  For more information please email Dr. Un-Young Whang or Tiffany Thorpe at communitymusic@moody.edu."

** I have been in contact with Tiffany Thorpe about the program and if we have enough people who would be willing to do this, but would like to do it on another night so that we do not have to miss student wives, they are willing to look into the possibility of doing this for us, this semester if possible, but if not trying to do it in the spring. If you would like to do this, please let me know so I can get you more information and see if we have enough for a class on a different night. Please email me at swfmoody@gmail.com and tell me if you are interested, how many children you have, and what age they are. Thank so much, and I hope we can get a group together to enjoy this opportunity. (The classes are 6 week sessions and range in price from about $50 to $70 with a discount for Moody students and employees.) 

*** Just found out there are looking into adding a music class on Saturdays from 10am- noon if there is enough people. Please let me know ASAP! Thanks.***

Introducing the 2012- 2013 Leadership Team

  
Robin O'Connor 
President 


Here to serve you in any way I can. I've started by planning a program in which you will have the opportunity to grow as a woman of God being conformed to the image of his Son as you minister to the saved and unsaved alike, from your husband to a stranger on the street. I pray this fellowship will lead to deeper, more intimate relationships in which you learn from those more mature in the faith and share life with those experiencing the same situation you are in whether that be as a student, spouse, or mother. Contact me anytime you want to chat, hang out, or sweat it out together at Solheim: mroc929@yahoo.com
Alyssa Burkhardt 
Vice President 

Hello! I am military brat from everywhere/nowhere who fell in love with a cute asian guy who now let's me call him Husband.
 I am SO excited that you are here and that we get to enjoy this unique time together! My role in SWF is to work behind the scenes helping Robin get things done and with that I get the privilege of knowing and serving you. My heart is to get to know you and work along side you as we seek to prepare for ministry in its many forms. Would you like to hang out? I would love to take you to one of the many yummy coffee shops around here! You can contact me at burkhardt522@gmail.com or text/call me at (850) 496-4713.

Melissa King  
Secretary 

It is my heart to make sure everyone feels welcome and served when at Student Wives.  I would love to listen if you need a listening ear and prayer. I also enjoy talking about economics, culture and cooking. I love to give recipes ideas for any budget. If you need advice on how to survive your husband's homework please ask me. Finally,  If you like to be flung around at high speeds behind a car on an inner tube on an icy parking lot or are you an avid sports fan and feel like you need someone to relate to...Please come find me, I will treat you to a cup of coffee... or tea... or cocoa... or sparkling water!"

Hey all! My name is Audrey Flood, and I am happy to be a part of SWF leadership team this year! Included in my photo is my husband David, and our son Mathias. I am serving this semester as the set-up/take down leader. My position basically involves making sure things look pretty for the meetings and then that they are put away and the tables get cleaned. I am excited to be a part in blessing the women of SWF by making them feel cozy and at home at their tables. I am also excited to chat with you all and get to know the new wives. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to serve you, my email is audrey.flood6610@gmail.com Also, feel free to shoot me and email if you feel led to serve ladies and help me with set-up or tear-down.  

Kelli Caro

Hello All! I am Kelli, and will be serving in Communications this year. My husband Michael is a sophomore here, and I am the mom of an adorable almost two year old, Peyton. You will be hearing from me with your email updates on what is going on as well as updating the blog. I am excited to serve the wives this year in anyway I can. I am here to help wives connect with one another and let everyone know what is happening in student wives. I am also available if you want to talk or grab a cup of coffee or whatever. You can reach me at swfmoody@gmail.com.


Luana Deane
Hospitality 

My name is Luana Deane. I am originally from Brazil but I have lived nearly half of my life in Ireland which is where I met my husband Shane. We have been married over 4 years and have a beautiful daughter named Talitha. This year I will be serving you in the area of hospitality.  I am hoping to make hospitality a really fun thing for all of us this year as we encourage one another by making yummy desserts for our meetings and by helping new moms and those who are ill with meals. I hope you are as excited as I am to learn more about serving in this area from each other!

 Lindzy Staples 
Boutique 

Hey there! My name is Lindzy and I am excited to be serving again this year running the Boutique, the free donation closet located on ASC2.
