It's Marvin MOPS Week (12/1/11)!

Ladies,

What a wonderful long Thanksgiving weekend!  I hope you and your families had a blessed and restful time together.  What a fortuitous time for us to meet again this Thursday, December 1^st at 10 a.m. as we are scheduled to talk about “Family Traditions.”  Our highly recommended speaker, Lynelle Zandstra from Pine Cove, will impart great ideas and suggestions for our new and growing families!

Our fall holiday BAKE SALE was a fantastic success!  Suzanne, Sarah and Sherry will give us the final update this Thursday.

This REALLY will be our last meeting where we will be collecting new and unwrapped toys for the St. Paul’s Secret Santa Workshop.  There is a need for older children’s gifts (soccer balls, sports equipment, bath products).  Let’s provide these precious children with a special Christmas experience!  All donations need to be made to St. Paul’s by December 5^th.

The Cupcake Piggy Bank is a great place for you to empty your purse/wallet of loose/spare change!  The collection will go to St. Paul’s at the end of the year. Look for it on Thursday!
