It's December and everyone is busy, busy, busy! No playdate this month. Have a very Merry Christmas!

December MOMs PLAYDATE...last one

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving with your family. This was Madison's 1st, so it was a special time.

Next Friday, Dec. 4 is our last playdate. We'll meet at 10:30 at the FBC playground. If it's too cold or wet, we'll meet in the gym. While the kids play, us MOMs will have an ornament exchange, so...bring a wrapped ornament. After playtime, we'll move into the Fellowship Hall where Sara Gordon will lead the kids in a fun, Christmas ornament craft. (no more than $1.00 per kid)

Bring your favorite Christmas cookies/candy/goodies to share with everyone, along with an extra container. We'll let the kids mix and match goodies. Everyone will leave with an assortment of yummy, Christmas treats!

Our regular MOMs meetings will begin January 15 in the Fellowship Hall. More details to come in the mail next week.

If you'll be there Dec. 4, shoot me an email at krfrey@yahoo.com or call me 968-4646 so Sara will know how many kids' craft kits to buy. I'm sure she'd like to know by at least next Wednesday.

See you at the playground one last time!

Great Spread!

I'm a little late on this post, but did want to let you all know that we had a GREAT spread of food at our Thanksgiving Potluck! We ate in the Upper Room, which worked out great because all of the babies/small kids had a great place to play...on the floor.

See you at our next playdate on Dec. 4- our last playdate before our regular meetings start up with just us MOMs! Monthly flyer with more details will be mailed out soon, so stay posted.

Update

We will eat in the Upper Room at the November MOMs playdate. The Fellowship Hall will be occupied.

Date & Time of November Playdate???

I'm so, so, sorry. I apparently left out the two most important details about our November playdate...the date and time. The date is November 13th and the time is 10:30. We'll play first, then eat. Below are the sides we still need. Along with your side, please also bring a 2-liter drink or pitcher of tea. Please email me what side you will be bringing or you can comment on our blog. krfrey@yahoo.com

Sides still needed:

Pumpkin Patch Pics

What is it like to be a Christian?

It is like being a pumpkin.

God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you...

Then, He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.

He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed.

Then, He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.

Pumpkin Patch Trip is Still On!

I talked to the owner of the patch tonight at 8:00 and the patch WILL BE OPEN tomorrow. They are expecting us. She said the fields are very muddy, so dress accordingly. You may want to bring a tarp to put under your blanket. They are supposed to be provided, but I'm going to bring my own just in case. We will leave the church at 9:00 or you can meet us at the patch around 10:00.

See you at the patch!

Pumpkin Patch???

From what I've heard about last years' trip to the pumpkin patch, it sounds like this years' trip may be just like it! I just checked the weather in Greenbriar and it is pretty much doing the same thing there as it is here. It is supposed to rain all day this week and then clear up on Friday. So...we won't get rained on, but the ground will be pretty wet. I'm going to call the patch on Thursday night and see what condition the fields are in. You can find out if the trip is still on by checking the FBC Women's Ministries page on Facebook or my page on Facebook. You can also check out our blog.

pack your rain boots...

and some extra blankets to sit on... Check back Thursday night for more info...
