Sandie Phipps organized the group MAMAs (Mother Against Mental Anguish) 20 years ago. The group meets every Wednesday during the school year as a support group/Bible study for mothers of any age. She wanted a place where moms could come and support each other, learn from each other, celebrate one another’s children. One of her gifts is hospitality — she loves to bless people with her talents in the kitchen, decorating, flower arranging, and she loves to throw a party/shower and celebrate life! Her goal is to bless people today and give all of us mamas a day off. She is a hard worker and a very giving woman.
