MOPS 2011-2012~MOMSense

Its that time again ladies!


We are getting ready for our new MOPS season~ Discovering your MOMSense! We are so excited for what's to come this year with our MOPS group. We want to encourage you to go ahead and register with us for the upcoming year. This year the registration fee is $50.

You may send a check to Waxhaw Bible Church 6810 Pleasant Grove Rd Waxhaw, NC 28173.

In the memo remember to put "MOPS Registration". We do have some half scholarships available. Please contact us if you are in need of a scholarship. mops@waxhawbiblechurch.org

 On August 26th at the Waxhaw Park (Playground) at 9am-10:30am, we will be hosting a MOPS Pre-registration . This will be a chance for any mom to come with the children, register for MOPS and meet some other moms. We will provide juice and water for kids and moms.

 This year we are looking for some MOPS moms who are passionate about Hospitality, Crafts, and Discussion Group leading. We are in the process of putting together some commitees to make our MOPS group even more awesome this year. So if you think one of the areas listed above would interest you, a place where you can use your gifts and talents, please let us know so we can get you plugged in right away :) Its going to be a great year!

Friday, February 11^th at 9:30 AM

It is going to be a "flip-flop" February at MOPS! We are flipping our meetings and this Friday, February 11^th 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 . . .
