About Gail
Though I am happily remarried my empathy for single parents remains strong. I am a speaker, published author, parent to three, step-parent to three more and grandmother to fifteen. My life is full and blessed. Yet, I recall the heartache and disappointments of earlier years. As a result I’ve designed a program that encourages and inspires single mothers.
Faith Statement
We choose to demonstrate Christ rather than preach. We are moderate, relaxed, and open in how we deal with single moms, but we take Christianity and Christian spirituality seriously. We rely on the Bible, but are not dogmatic. We are interested in interfaith dialog and will not pressure our neighbors. Our primary form of witness is by our lives, but we do not hide the fact that we are Christians.
Gail, SMORE Founder and author, teaches a class for single moms at Calder Baptist Church in Beaumont, Texas from 9:15-10:15. Moms are welcome to visit, stay for worship, or attend worship elsewhere. A nursery is provided and there is Sunday School for children and youth. Learn more about Gail at http://www.gailshowalter.com
