Mops Wednesday Night Dinner

Tonight was our MOPS Group's turn to serve dinner at Harbor. It is a ton of work, but very rewarding. There were several mom helpers that came early to set up. We had red and white checked tablecloths with candles and flower center pieces, along with Italian opera music for a little ambiance. As you can see from the photo there was Tonya, me, Kathy, Keely, Tracey and Amy. Also helping but not pictured was Mollie(our childcare worker didn't show up so she got stuck with most of the childcare duties, Thanks Mollie) Dee and Kristen were all a great help too. We served homemade lasagna, salad, toasted garlic bread and for dessert there was chocolate trifle, banana pudding and trays of brownies. Yum. Thanks Ladies, it was a huge success, every one raved about it.

"When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes." Isaiah 66:13-15

Magnet Craft

It was craft day today at MOPS. My favorite. We made small magnets for the refrigerator to hold up the abundant artwork and photos of our children. they were made from small glass disks about the size of a quarter. We decoupaged on stickers, pictures and/or patterned scrapbook paper (thanks Ms. Debbie for bringing all our supplies). Once they dried we glued super-strong disk magnets to the back. How simple.

Womens Shelter Speaker

Today's meeting was a speaker from the local Women's and Children's Domestic Violence Shelter. The director spoke to us how their program worked and what we as moms and as a community could do to help. Several of the ladies brought towels and toiletry items to donate, as well as a large donation of baskets and assorted towels from the entire group. What a generous bunch of women we have in our MOPS group. You all will make such a difference in the lives of other women by your generosity. Thank you.

"They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness."
Psalm 145:6-8

Shelley's Going away Party

How sad. No words needed. We can't believe your gone. Miss you terribly. What a vital part of MOPS you were.
