The Blog Returns!

We had a GREAT fall
semester!











Lots of fun at our meetings, wonderful outings with our kids and some really terrific mom's nights out.

We're looking forward to our Spring semester and hope you'll join us!

Please call First United Methodist Church (766-4611) and ask for information about our group or email us at themomconnection@gmail.com

April Meeting

Our meeting will be held this Friday, April 9th at 9:15am in the fellowship hall.

We are blessed to have Lucretia Browning as our speaker!

Lucretia is the associate pastor at First Church. She's wise, warm and wonderful and you won't want to miss this meeting!

March Outing: Playdate at Molly and Matthew's House!

Lisa has very generously offered to host a playdate at her house this Friday, March 26th from 10am-whenever. She is going to provide sloppy joes and mac and cheese for lunch and has asked people to bring sides like we did last time. Please be sure that whatever you bring is PEANUT-FREE.

We will also be having an Easter Egg Scramble in her yard (weather permitting) so bring a bag or basket to collect eggs! If you are able, please consider making a donation of 1 or 2 dollars to help offset the cost of the candy. Donations can be given to Becky.

If you did not receive a copy of the member list please email themomconnection@gmail.com for Lisa's address.

March Meeting!

Our March meeting will be held this Friday, March 12th @ 9:15 am.

We will be working on Health Kits for Mission Central.

Mission Central was able to send $250,000 in aid kits in the days and weeks after the earthquake in Haiti. We will be verifying kits that have been donated to make sure they are complete/correct. You do not have to bring items for the kits, but if you wish to make a donation, this is a list of the items included in a Health Kit:

• hand towels (15" x 25" up to 17" x 27", No kitchen towels)
• washcloths
• combs (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
• nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
• bath-size bar of soap (3 oz. and up)
• toothbrushes (single brushes only in original wrapper, No child-size brushes)
• adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

Looking forward to seeing you on Friday!
