Craft Day & Jesus' Birthday Party

Hi ladies ~

I hope you're looking forward to some fun and fellowship tomorrow as we look forward to a relaxing day of "getting our craft on". Come and enjoy making some useful crafts (great for gifts!) and get lots of tips for fun, cheap holiday crafts as well as hearing a devotional and spending some time getting to know other ladies in our group!

Also, just a reminder that if you are interested in attending our annual Birthday Party for Jesus with your 2.5 - 5 year old, Joy will be passing around a signup sheet for that activity at this week's meeting (we are capping the party at the first 24 kids that sign up and are paid for). Remember, this party is geared only towards kids ages 2.5 - 5 years old. We will provide FREE childcare for younger siblings so that you can just focus on helping your preschooler through the activities.

Here are some additional details:

Date: Tuesday, December 14th (we do NOT have MOM this week, as we are off for Christmas break for the last three weeks in December)
Time: 9:30-11:00 am
Cost: $5 per child (Joy will begin collecting this money this week. Your $5 is needed to reserve your child's spot.)

Also, we do still need 3 more volunteers to help out with craft and game stations that day. We are looking for moms that won't have kids celebrating there that day. If you have a child in this age group, we want you to really be able to just enjoy this time with your preschooler. SO, if your kids are in school, or even if you have ones that are too young to participate but you'd like to help out, we'd love to have you!

Questions? See myself or Joy Buntrock tomorrow and we'll be happy to answer them.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

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!

Moms Night Out Reminder

Hey Ladies,

I just wanted to send out a quick reminder that tomorrow night is our Mom's Night Out! Here are the details you need to know:

Thursday October 7th
Soup & Chili Potluck
7:00-9:30pm
Spring Creek Church Room 152/153

We have a very relaxed night planned for you all. Looking forward to getting to know other moms and play some fun games and of course enjoy the great food!

If you have not already signed up and are planning on coming, just let me know. Email or call me and I can let you know what you can bring!

It was brought to my attention that some people did not get the evite and that others were having problems with it. I am not a huge fan of Evite right now! If you were one of those who did not get it, I apologize. Hope you can still make it!
