What a fun meeting! After a delicious breakfast provided by the Friend table, we had a great time creating family fun jars filled with great ideas for activities we can do with our kids. Suzanne then gave a mentor moment on how to nurture and develop our relationships with our in-laws. Her suggestions gave us lots to talk about as we then ended our time with discussion at our tables. In MOPPETS, our little ones heard the story of David & Goliath and had a fun time making “armor” to remind them that God protects us, just like he protected David.
To learn how to make the candy turkeys that Hospitality Leader Amanda Deppe talked about during announcements, go here.
Our next meeting is Friday, November 20. We will be having a speaker from Pooh’s Corner to share information about children’s books and effective tips on reading aloud to our little ones. The Volunteer table is scheduled to provide breakfast and the Neighbor table will be helping clean up after the meeting.
Thank you to the Mother table who will be providing nursery care for our November 13 Steering Team meeting from 9:30-11:00.
MOPPETS reminders:
- please label all sippy cups, bottles & diaper bags with your child’s first & last name using permanent marker
- in order to avoid congestion during check in, please remove your child’s coats, mittens, hats, etc. and hang or leave them in the hallway.
Please set aside your newspapers and returnable pop cans for our fundraising Paper Drive next Saturday, November 14 from 9 a.m. to noon in the rear parking lot of First Church. If this time does not work for you, papers may be dropped off anytime Wednesday thru Sunday once the trailer is in the parking lot. This is our only fundraiser for the year, so please encourage your family and friends to contribute as well!
MOPS moms—here is a great service opportunity if you are looking for a way to give back this Thanksgiving. First Church is hosting a Thanksgiving Drive to benefit the Domestic Crisis Center. We will be collecting dry goods/food, personal hygiene items, diapers & wipes, and/or paper products (kleenex, toilet paper) at our next MOPS meeting if you’d like to bring an item or two to donate. For additional ideas of ideas you can donate to this drive, visit the Domestic Crisis Wish list page.
