Moms Pursuing God: Halloween Prayer

Halloween Prayer

This verse* is what my kids and I just started praying today for our community during the Halloween season:

Open their eyes
so that they may turn
from darkness to light
and from the power of Satan
to God.
Amen!

*(Acts 26:18a, ESV).

Who We Are

We are a group of moms who long for a deeper relationship with God and for fellowship with others of like heart. We meet from 8-10pm the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at The Rock of Roseville, 725 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA. First we spend an hour in the prayer room to spend time with the Lord and read a chapter of a book we're studying together. Then we meet together to discuss the chapter and pray with one another. We are always open to new members, so if you're interested, come check us out! (Child care is not available; babies are welcome.)

History

Early in 2006, Michelle became desperate to learn how to pursue God wholeheartedly while being a wife and mommy. As the Lord began to answer her heart's cry, her desire grew to meet with other like-hearted moms. Thus was born Moms Pursuing God (aka "RHOP Moms"). Over the past year, longtime members Sarah and Ruth have stepped up to co-lead. We have been meeting nearly every Friday since May 2006, sharing our hearts, laughing, crying, praying, and forming lasting friendships. We would love for you to join us!

Michelle was raised by parents who loved her and the Lord. After being sent around the world by the Air Force until she was nineteen, they returned to their home state of California. She married Paul in 2001 and came to The Rock in 2002, a few months before their first child was born. They now have four children and an ever-deepening desire to pursue the knowledge of God. Her hobbies are reading, taking walks, playing piano, board games, camping. She is a homemaker and home schooler.

Sarah grew up in Illinois and met her husband at a Vineyard church where they were youth/young adult pastors for a few years. She moved from Iowa to the Sacramento area with her husband and two children in 2005. They ended up at the Rock of Roseville in in 2006 and feel like this church home has been a huge part of the reason they ended up moving to the Sacramento area. Sarah is a stay at home mom for her two kids and is so desperate and grateful for the set aside time with God and other moms seeking Him at RHOP moms. She enjoys being outside: hiking, camping, being at the ocean or in the mountains, spending time in God's presence, loves reading a little too much, and baking.

Ruth grew up in Marysville and ended up in Sacramento. She married Jack in 1995, and spent 10 and a half years in Germany. In 2006, they returned to Sacramento and discovered The Rock and the Roseville House of Prayer. Currently she's home-schooling their two children and "holding down the fort" while Jack is spending the year deployed to Baghdad. Her hobbies are Alpine snow skiing, walking, biking, camping, swimming, and, when life slows down again, scrap booking. She is a homemaker and teacher. Her heart is that her biggest ministry in this season is to her husband and children.
