Mom's Night Out

 

 

Good Afternoon MOPS Ladies! Tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept 23) is our next meeting. This is going to be a fun one! We will be meeting in the sanctuary at 6:30pm to watch the movie Mom's Night Out! The sanctuary is straight and to the right of the front doors where we usually come in. So drop off the kiddos downstairs and join us!

Dinner will be provided as usual. If you are signed up to bring a side dish, please make sure that it is ready to go by 6:30pm so we can eat!!! The movies running time is 1:38 so we will need all the time we can get.

We will be dinning with our teams (hospitality, social/publicity, creative, and MOPPETS). So we can meet each other and clarify any questions you may have about your role.

If you will be unable to attend, please let me know ASAP!

Looking forward to it, I've heard this movie is hilarious!

Ice Cream Social and Open House (Registration Night!)

 

Ladies, are you ready for a new year of MOPS?!  Come and register for the 2014-15 season on August 26th from 6:30-8:30pm at Lawrence Wesleyan Church.  You will have the opportunity to see the new facility, visit with friends and eat free ice cream.  Please bring your children and any friends that you think might be interested in joining MOPS at Night!

Change is in the air!

We have some exciting changes happening in our MOPS at Night group! We are embracing the Be You, Bravely theme and bravely stepping into a new location. We will now be meeting at Lawrence Wesleyan Church! Christ Community Church has been an amazing partner in starting our group for the last 4 years, but we need more space! What a joyful reason. Lawrence Wesleyan Church has welcomed us with open arms and are ready to help and support us. We will still meet on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30pm, we will still provide childcare, dinner, and a relaxing environment.

Looking forward to a new year! Join us and BE YOU, BRAVELY!

Garage Sale Time!

Howdy! This is the final week to clean out those closets, empty out that garage, and borrow long-term from your neighbor! IT'S GARAGE SALE WEEK!!! Below are several things to look over all about the sale.

Donations:
Here are the drop off times for donations...
THURSDAY at Christ Community Church from 6:30pm-8:30pm
If you would like to drop off items on FRIDAY morning, please arrange a time with me. I will be available all day.
ALL ITEMS MUST BE AT THE CHURCH BY NOON ON FRIDAY!
If you are unable to get the items to the church on one of these two days, my garage is open for storage. Just call, email, text and let me know a good time.

Shift Times:
You should receive an email from Sign-up Genius to remind you of your time(s) to come. We have a few spots open still, if you can come and help, that would be great. Even if it's just for a little bit. Every little bit helps!

Signs:
If you have an garage sale signs or materials to make signs that you are willing to donate or let us borrow please let me know. The more we can save on materials the more money we can make!

Set-up:
Several have signed up to help on Thursday evening from 6:30-8:30. If you have any time to give and love to organize, create, or follow direction please come help! We will be doing just that, organizing the donated items, creating signs, and helping each other mark and label all items. Afterwards, we can all go out to Sylas and Maddies for ice cream!

Thank you all for your help! I'm really excited to get this going and to have it done

Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, advise.

Science Fun

At our meeting this week we did several fun experiments to help us teach our children science and to prepare them for kindergarten. Just because your children are learning doesn't mean it has to be boring! And just when you thought you were only having fun, you are actually teaching your children great skills. Below are all the activities we did and talked about.



Oil and Ice



Exploding Treasure



Floating Raisins



Cloud Jar



Inflating Balloon



Balance with Hanger



Pipe Cleaners and Magnets



Sink or Float

Guest Day!

 

 

I just wanted to remind everyone that next TUESDAY, April 15th, is guest day/night. This is a great time to invite a friend to join us. We are scheduled to have Mary Duncan from Tools for Motherhood speak to us about teaching science concepts to our children. Who doesn't want to hear that!?

If you are bringing a friend, you and your friend will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a date night which includes: 2 hours of babysitting and a gift card to a local restaurant. Take the time to invite a friend or two, it's not a commitment to join MOPS, it's a fun night out with a bunch of ladies!

Until then!

Meetin' Time

Good afternoon! Just a reminder that we have a MOPS Meeting tomorrow night 6:30-8:30pm! Shane Jones is a counselor in the Lawrence/Topeka area and he is coming to talk to us about Marriage, Relationships, and Sex. I'm excited.

Food: If you have signed up for food, please have it there by 6:30pm

MOPPETS: If you are bringing children for MOPPETS, please let Becky know ASAP.

Attendance: If you are unable to make it to the meeting, please let April know. A friendly reminder that we do have an attendance policy (not because we are mean, but because we want to grow together and we can't do that if you are not there).

Cancel

Due to the weather we are canceling tonight's meeting. I will miss seeing everyone. Be on the look out for upcoming social events.

Enjoy the snow!

MOPS Meeting

 

 

Tuesday, February 4th is our next meeting! The Merc will be coming to talk to us about Health and Nutrition. I'm sure they would love to answer any questions you have about the latest and greatest food trends. Gluten Free? Dairy Free? Why? It's not a pyramid anymore?!

If you have signed up to bring food, please have it there ready to go by 6:30pm. If you can't remember if you signed up or not you can check with Christine.

If you have kiddos that are coming for MOPPETS please let Becky know.

And if you are unable to attend please let April know.

Should the weather get bad, we will cancel our meeting. I'll send out an email and post on Facebook if this is the case. I sure hope we can still get together!
