December Meeting

Our next meeting is coming right up! December 13 at 8:45am until 11am. There are lots of things going on this month, we hope you will be able to join us for some Christmas fun.

Angie Delaney will be coming to speak. The topic is "Finding a Balance in Mothering." Angie is going to be helping us do just that by showing us some make-ahead-meals. We will also be working together to take home our own freezable cookie dough! Don't worry, you don't need to bring anything special. We'll have everything ready for you.

We will also be having a White Elephant Christmas Gift Exchange. Please don't go out and spend any money. Just bring your white elephant gift for the exchange. Don't really know what a white elephant gift is? Check out this explanation.

We hope to be able to spread a little bit of the Christmas Spirit to you! Remember, childcare is provided. We would love to have you!

We're having a playdate!

We would love for you to join us for our playdate at Apple Blossom Farm on October 8. Our tour is scheduled for noon. The tour is free but you can also pay $5 and get a pumpkin or some apples on the tour.


They have a picnic area just inside the orchard on your left, this would be a good meeting place for all of us. Some of us talked about bringing a sack lunch, or they do have food avaliable for purchase there. So if you'd like, you could join us for lunch around 11:30am, if not just meet us in the picnic area a few minutes before our scheduled tour.

Hope to see you there!

February's Meeting

If you missed February's meeting, you missed out on a great time. Pastor Jim Powell was an excellect speaker. Well, he didn't really speak as much as let us girls speak. He really broke down the big husband-wife relationship questions for us.

We really appreciate him coming!

January Meeting

It was a success! Thanks to Ken Muck for coming and speaking to us, what an encouagement you were to us that day. Thank you for helping us to remember what is important in our lives.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 were the verses Ken spoke on: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and whn you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you het up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."

How can we impress them on our children if the commandments are not in our own hearts? That's why we need a daily time with God. Ken encouraged us to read one chapter of Proverbs a day. Are you doing it yet?

Maybe we could take the encouragement from Annie in December's meeting to take a verse and work with our kids in memorizing and explaining a verse a week.

Hope you have a great January!
