We are so sorry that you missed today’s meeting. Many of you have sick children, and we hope they recover quickly!
I’m attaching a link to today’s newsletter which has several new items and events for you to note:
- OUR MOPS TOTS (2 and under) Playdate (next Thursday, February 17) LOCATION has been CHANGED to the home of Suzanne Lambert at 925 Shepherd Lane, Tyler 75701. Suzanne’s phone is 903-330-5560.
- Our Spring Fundraiser will be a GARAGE SALE! It is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, 2012 at the home of Sherry Trump. Start gathering up and collecting any of the following items that you have been waiting to donate for a great cause; clothing (adult and children), toys, baby equipment, etc. Proceeds will go directly towards our MOPPETS program, and the remaining unsold items will be donated to St. Paul’s. You will not have to individually price your items! Details regarding pick up and/or collection of your donated items will be forthcoming.
- Please take the time and open the Care Calendar when emailed. The gift of a meal (prepared or purchased) for the recipient and her family is a wonderful blessing and met with tremendous gratitude.
Rev. Marty and Jami Dunbar blessed us with an amazing presentation on “Growing Kids in God’s Way.” We will be emailing you PDF’s of their handouts shortly. It would be difficult to summarize their entire discussion as many examples, scriptures and topics were conveyed. I was however struck by Rev. Dunbar’s succinct recipe for having “Success in Parenting”: 1) Having a great marriage! This creates security and certainty in our children, and gives them confidence in how they lead their own lives and 2) Having a great relationship with the Lord. This is our primary relationship and the relationship between husband and wife is the foundation and mirror for which our children learn about relationships, and character.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Thursday, February 23rd. Please bring with you at least 3 favorite kid-friendly recipes to share with the group.
Take care, and have a wonderful weekend!
Debra Bochow
Discussion Group Coordinator
