Ladies, if you missed last week's M.O.M. craft day, you'll want to connect with our sweet Deanna Braman to get your supplies for your embroidered bag. Take a look at how cute they are:

Craft Meeting Day - October 12th
Hi ladies ~
Hope you had a great weekend! I just wanted to send out a note to remind you that tomorrow we will be having a craft meeting day. We will not be meeting in our groups, so when you arrive, grab your name tag and then find a spot to sit at ANY table. We hope that you'll still connect with members of your study group, and that this will also give you a chance to get to know other ladies throughout the larger group! We will have a format similar to that of our first meeting, including an icebreaker activity, a devotional, and then we will have the majority of our time to work on our craft and socialize. This week we'll be decorating bags that you'll be able to use throughout the year to hold your study materials, so we hope you can make it!
Also, we announced last week that our special speakers this month (October 26th) will be a 'man panel' ~ a group of men that will be coming in to answer questions you have on parenting or marriage -- from a man's perspective. We want to be sure that they discuss things that are important to you, so if you have questions that they can prepare to answer in advance, please email those to me or fill out the question forms that will be on the tables tomorrow. All questions need to be submitted by next Tuesday, October 19th.
I hope you all have a great time! Deanna is going to decorate a bag for me, as my 3 year old son fell and broke his elbow this weekend and is having surgery Wednesday (and needs to stay on bedrest until then). If you think of it, pray for him (and for me as I'm trying to keep my very active boy from being too adventurous with a cast on his arm!).
See you soon!

Meeting Update 9.21.10
Hi Moms on a Mission ~
Hopefully everyone enjoyed today as much as I did!
For those of you who couldn't make it, I wanted to let you know of one major change that is going to be happening. We loved the idea of all of the WOW and MOM ladies meeting together for songs, announcements, and prayer in the west wing at the beginning of each week -- but after watching it happen last week, we've decided that it's just not practical at this point (although many of you got your 1/4 mile walk in last week going from one end of the building to another...) SO, if you need to drop kiddos off, plan to do that between 9 and 9:15, and then we'll all just meet right in Room 152/153 (the brightly painted room we met in last week) starting at 9:15. Wanda will make sure we're up to date with any announcements or other things we need to know and we just think it will be a better use of our time while we're there on Tuesday mornings.
If you have any questions, please let me know, you can contact me via phone
(414.535.1401) or email (amygruetz@hotmail.com).
See you then!

OUR FIRST MEETING - Tuesday, September, 14th!!!
Dear moms,
Labor Day has come and gone, and we're at T minus 6 days until our very first Moms On a Mission meeting – ever! Our steering team met last Thursday for final preparations as we head into our kickoff ~ and ladies, I am excited for you to experience all that they have planned! These creative ladies are working really hard to make this year's M.O.M. program the very best it can be!
This Thursday, September 9th, from 6:30-8:00 pm , we will be sharing our program as a part of our Fall Women's Ministries Kickoff in the café area. If you are interested in joining M.O.M. but want to find out more information, this event is for you! It's free, Pastor Dan is leading worship for us, and it's a great opportunity to come find out about what women's classes are planned for this year! Also, if you'd like to find out our M.O.M. schedule for the year and other great stuff we've got planned, check out our group's blog at http://springcreekmoms.blogspot.com/
Okay, down to the nitty gritty:
Our first meeting of this year will be next Tuesday, September 14th from 9:15-11:15am.
As we approach next week's kickoff, there are a few things we want you to know in advance.
1. PRE -REGISTRATION: This year, you can pre-register yourself and your kiddos online. To save yourself time and energy on the first day, please take the time to go to the church website's women's ministries page and fill out this form online. It can be found here http://springcreekonline.com/site/cpage.asp?sec_id=3486&cpage_id=14767 Everyone who has pre-registered by Monday, September 13th will already have your kids entered in the system (for printing name tags) and will have all the info we need from you all taken care of. You aren't able to pay online, but at least the majority of the paperwork can be done in advance...and you don't even have to bring it with you!!
2. DAY ONE : Speaking of that first week, it's likely going to be a little...ahem...busy that first day as we sort through who goes where and all of that good stuff. Our childcare workers will be here early (and we've got 18 of them ready to help on that day!!) so if you've got kids to check in please plan to arrive in the childcare wing (where we met last year, in front of the nurseries) NO LATER than 9am so you can take care of that and then have some time to relax before our meeting starts! We will be starting out at the opposite end of the building (Room 20 – West wing) and then move back to our 'normal' room (152/153) at about 9:30 each week. So if you have kiddos to check in, you'll likely want to park at the childcare end of the building, because that's where you'll start and end up each week.
3. COSTS: As we stated in earlier emails, the cost for the M.O.M. program this year will be $50 for the year (30 weeks). This price includes your bible study manual as well as the other crafts that we will be doing throughout the year. You may pay this registration fee either on Thursday the 9th or our first meeting day, Tuesday, September 14th. Please make checks payable to Spring Creek Church. As of our last email, childcare costs (for those of us who still have kids under age 5 at home) had not yet been determined. We were hoping to staff our childcare rooms with volunteers but unfortunately did not receive the response we were hoping for. So, we were able to hire a great paid staff who will be there every week to watch our kids. We will have the option to pay weekly or monthly, but this means that we had to raise our childcare rates. So, for the upcoming year, the costs for childcare for all Tuesday classes will be as follows: $5 per week for your 1st child, $10 for 2 or more children. Having said that, I know that this is a dramatic increase in what our MOPS moms were used to paying in previous years (mostly because we are now meeting weekly instead of monthly, but still...). Please understand that we ABSOLUTELY do not want anyone to be unable to participate in M.O.M. because of the cost. If these prices would make attending our group too difficult for you financially, please know that scholarships are available. You may contact Wanda Leffel directly for further scholarship information at wleffel@springcreekonline.com or 262.695.2211. We would much rather you ask for help, tell Wanda what you are able to pay and let the church fund the rest - than not be able to come at all or have to choose a week or two per month to attend simply because of childcare costs. We'll work something out. Come.
I don't know about you ladies, but my heart just longs for the fellowship that we'll be continuing together in less than a week. This summer, so much has changed for me personally, and for my family...well, I can't wait to see you all and share with you how God is working! I really hope to see each of you there on the 14th! Come and check out our new program – I really think you'll love it!!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, let us know and we'll do our best to answer them! Can't wait to see you soon!!!

M.O.M. This Fall
Hello moms!
I cannot believe how fast this summer is going by, but at the same time I am so ready to be done with this heat! What I wouldn't give for a wonderful 65 degree fall day right now! :)
I hope you all received a letter in the mail a few weeks ago, if you did not, check out the blog post "M.O.M. Introduction Letter". We are busy planning the kickoff of our new M.O.M. program and hope that you will be able to join us in September, only 4 weeks away! As we are prepping things for September, we are trying to get an idea for how many moms to plan for. I was hoping that you could help me out. If you are planning on joining us this year, could you please shoot me an email and let me know? I am not looking for a set-in-stone commitment, but just trying to get an idea of how many of our once a month MOPS moms will be joining us for the weekly M.O.M group. On the same note, if you know that you will not be joining us, if you could let me know that as well, that would be great.
Thank you so much for your help and I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for our group!
Sincerely,
Brianne Haust
