Craft Day!
- Come as early as 9:15 am to drop off your children for MOPPETS. Make sure to mark all of your child’s belongings (i.e. diaper bag, bottles, pacifiers, etc.) Enter through the glass doors closest to our sanctuary on the side of the building.
- Remember this week is the CLOTHING SWAP! We will ask those participating in the Swap to arrive at MOPS promptly at 9:15am on Sept 23rd. You will be allowed to shop while others are arriving, eating, and chatting. You are welcome to take home any items that you brought that no one needs, but if you would like you can also leave them at WBC and we will donate them to a local women's shelter. (If you would like to drop off your clothes on Thursday, you may do so between 10am-12pm-otherwise bring them Friday)
- Don’t forget to bring your registration forms!! (If you come prepared your wait in line will be shorter too!)
- Come hungry! Fellow MOPS moms are serving you breakfast . . . you don’t need to bring anything unless of course you signed up to do so!
We'll be making our own bag tags using Shrinky Dink paper and your imagination. Just cut, draw, color and bake. Instant, waterproof, kidproof tag! Here's a sneak peek:
MOPS registration is $50 – If you haven’t already registered, bring a check made out to Waxhaw Bible Church to start your MOPS membership and have your MOPS benefits on the way. New moms, you are welcome to join us 2-3 times before deciding to register for the year.
See you Friday, September 23rd at 9:15am!

Clothing Swap
DON'T DO IT!! MOPS is going to be having a clothes swap in just a few weeks. Details will follow, but you can bring those old clothes and pick up some "new" ones--ALL FOR FREE.
We'd love for you to save the gently used clothes for the swap.
Bring separate bins or laundry baskets with clothes sorted by size and gender. (Or by women's size including maternity) Be sure items are stain-free, tear-free, and multi-piece outfits are pined or well-attached. During the swap, we will allow you to choose outfits based on the honor system, as many as you need. Your selection does not need to be equal to what you brought, and we decided for ease not to worry with a ticket system. HOWEVER, please be observant of other moms shopping in the same bins that you are and do not take an unreasonable share. We are doing this to help each other out, so be gracious to one another. Remember, we are all in the same boat. Perhaps if you see three other moms are selecting from the same size/gender bins, take turns each selecting item one item. Especially with shoes, do not take more than one pair until everyone has had a turn. If you need to shop from multiple sizes, go first to the sizes you are most in need of. Obviously, we want ALL the clothes to be swapped, but any remaining will be given to a women's shelter.

Don't miss our next MOPS meeting!
Friday, February 11th at 9:30 AM
It is going to be a "flip-flop" February at MOPS! We are flipping our meetings and this Friday, February 11th is our Craft day! We have a very special craft: No sew fleece blankets. If you have fabric scissors, please label and bring them. You will be making two blankets: one to take home and one to donate to a special children's hospital. This is in loving memory of little Carter Cummings.
I am planning to be back at MOPS this meeting; I am so excited to see everyone. But, to make things a little easier on me I am inviting our MOMSnext group to join us. MOMSnext is for mothers of school-aged children. We usually meet after our MOPS meeting for lunch once a month. I am just not up for an all day event yet. Thank you so much for your prayers and encouraging words as I have been through this difficult recovery time at home. I loved the get well banner everyone signed and I still have it taped to my living room wall. I love you all! Blessings, Heather
Here are some helpful tips to make your MOPS morning even more enjoyable.
- Come as early as 9:20 am to drop off your children for MOPPETS.
Please make sure to mark all of your child's belongings (i.e. diaper bag, bottles, pacifiers, etc.) *Please include a change of clothes for each child in their bag. To check in, enter through the glass doors closest to our sanctuary.
- It's cold & flu season. A child who has been sick within the last 24 hours shouldn't come to MOPPETS. A fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or a runny nose that isn't clear means it's a day to stay home.
Moms, come hungry! Breakfast is served . . .
