Holiday Fun

For our December meeting Pastor Tom shared some encouragement for keeping the Christmas season full of Christ. We had an ornament exchange and enjoyed hanging out and talking. We made fleece baby blankets for Hope Pregnancy Center and made Hershey kisses ornaments. It was nice to slow down for a few hours and just laugh together.

New start time in January

We'll be officially starting our meetings later beginning in January. We were meeting from 9-11:30 but we're going to begin now at 9:30 and end at 11:30. Our first meeting in January will be on the 10th. Hope to see you there.

MOPS Christmas party

This Thursday will be our December MOPS meeting from 9 am until 11:30 am. If you would like to participate in an ornament exchange, bring a wrapped ornament with no name on it. We'll hear an Advent devotional from Pastor Tom and make fleece blankets and kissing balls. If a few people want to bring something to snack on that would be great! See you then!

Reminders for November meeting...

Our Thanksgiving meeting is this Thursday, November 8th. Bring a potluck dish to share! At 11 am we'll bring the big kids down for lunch and to assemble the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Remember, we are packing a boy and girl shoebox for ages 2-4. Here's a list of what to bring and what not to bring. Remember, this is an opportunity, not an obligation, so if you're already participating through your home church or some other avenue, that's great!

Also this week will be the last week to turn in Antiquities monies.

Pretty pumpkins

MOPS moms working hard on their Martha Stewart pumpkins. They turned out great and hopefully no one has permanent glitter on their hands or clothes!

Hot Links

Well ladies, craft time was so much fun today! Here's the link as promised with instructions and video on how to do the glittered pumpkins.

Also a link to the scripture memory CDs Natalie reference.

House painting

After a demonstration by Kim Myers on painting these moms got right to work painting our table centerpieces. They are very talented!

This week's theme..."How to Make a House a Home!"

Kim Meyer will be our special guest who will demonstrate how to use different interior painting techniques in your home decor. Then we'll try our hands at painting--on a smaller scale of course! See you Thursday the 11th at 9 am!

Also don't forget playgroup Monday the 15th at 9:30 am at Lions Park.

Collection Item for the Month--Peanut Butter!

Don't forget your collection items for the month...28 oz jars of peanut butter to benefit the food pantry at Churches Touching Lives for Christ.

MOPPETS collection

If you haven't already noticed, our three MOPPETS paid workers are expecting little ones in the next few months! If anyone would like to bring a new/gently used item to bless them with, there will be a giant gift bag in the back of the room for any contributions.
