Lynette Bell: I am a helping to plan all of the activities again this year and also updating you all on the blog and facebook!  I have been married for 12 years and have 4 children, from 2 up to 13.  I'm enjoying lot's of different stages of life right now, potty training, middle school and a few in between as well!  I've got some great ideas in mind for this year, but would love to hear from you as well on what you would like to see or do, feel free to email me: bell.lynette@gmail.com

Trisha Zeerip: I am the coordinator of the MLIFE group at Community Reformed. My husband Rick and I have been married for 8 1/2 years. We are the proud parents of a great five year old, Mason. I work part time for Chemical Bank as a personal banker. In my spare time I enjoy scrap booking, boating and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to growing in my faith and learning new things about being a parent and wife this year, with all of you!

Kimberly Schreur: My husband Randal and I live in Hudsonville and have two amazing daughters.  Molly is (almost) 4 and Nora is one and a half.  They have kept us very busy and I thank God for them ever day.  Before I became a stay-at-home mom I coached gymnastics and was an activities director in Jenison.  So, I am very excited to be  apart of M-LIFE this year and help with the activities, crafts and speakers.

Nakisha DeJong:

Kerri Arendsen: I've lived in Zeeland my whole life and been a member at Community my whole life too!  My husband Arlyn and I have been married for 10 years and have two precious daughters.  Abi is 4 and will be in preschool this fall, and Maci is 16 months.  I work part-time at USF Holland in Revenue Management.  As a family we enjoy spending time outside and camping. In my spare time I also enjoy working on scrapbooks and reading.  The girls and I really enjoyed MOPs last year and I'm looking forward to a great year of M-LIFE.

Katie Burke:

Tracy Dykstra: This is my first year on the MLife Committee. I'm part of the Hospitality Committee and very excited for all the fun things we have planned for this year.  We live in the Drenthe area and my husband and I have been married for 10 years and have 2 spunky, busy, little boys - who are 4 and 1 1/2. I'm a stay at home Mom and my husband is a cattle farmer. I'm excited to be a part of this committee and experience this year with MLife!

Joyce Horowski: Mentor.  My Husband John and I have been married for 45 years.  We have two children.  We are blessed with two grandchildren, Ben and Erin, who are 11-year old twins.  Last June, I retired from Grandville Middle School after twenty-three years as a secretary.  I enjoy reading, knitting, exercising and especially spending time with family and friends.  It has been an honor and privilege to have been a MOPS mentor this year.  I look forward to M LIFE next year and connecting with young Mothers who are looking to enrich their lives through Christian friends and experiences.

Sue Lucas: I am a mentor for all the moms that attend M-LIFE.  I am married and mother to three married sons and daughter-in-laws, and grandma to five grandchildren. I enjoy music, reading and spending time with family and friends. I also work part time as a receptionist in a dental office. I enjoy sharing life experiences with young moms to encourage and support them in their Christian walk. True friendship is a gift from God to be valued and cherished.

Maggie Busscher: My husband Kevin and I live in Zeeland and have been married for 6 years.  We have been blessed with two great kids. Charlotte is almost 4 and Dirk is 1.  I’m a stay-at-home mom that keeps busy running after the kids.  I love the outdoors in every season, from snowmobiling to swimming in the lake. I’m “new” to the area and love getting to know our community.   I am excited to be working with M-life and getting to know all you ladies.

Julie Overweg: After doing Moppets last year, I will be doing activities and speaker cordinating this year.  I have been married to my husband Chad for 10 years and have three amazing kids.  Avery is 7 years old and is in the 2nd grade, Brecken is 5 years old and in kindergarten and Reed is 2.  I work part time as an RN and love my job, I also love being able to be home with my children.  I am excited to be a part of M-LIFE!
