MOMS Tips for marriage

Hello!
Hard to believe almost two weeks have passed already since our last meeting. I had completely forgot to send out the Tips for a Great Marriage notes from our table discussions. I came across them as I sat down to put some things together for this week’s meeting. The list is a pretty good one!! Be sure to open the attachment and print it. Refer to it frequently and remind yourself how blessed you truly are and use it as a reminder that all good things in life take work….especially our marriages.

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday. Our discussion will be on discipline and why we need to discipline our children. This discussion is for all….whether your kids are 2 months old, 2 years old or 22 years old. My mamma always says, “once a mom, always a mom!”. In addition to our discussion on the topic, we will also have some time to share about our precious children. PLEASE take a few minutes and pull out a several photos of your children. Share as many or as few as you would like. It will be a fun meeting to meet the children (in picture, of course) of your tablemates. You all will get a chance to share about the wonderful child/children the Lord has placed in your care.

We had many out sick last meeting or with sick little ones. Please know we will be praying for you all and for your attendance at the meeting. I pray that each one of you know you are loved and cherished by our MOMS group, but also, and even more so, by your Lord and Savior!

Until Thursday,
Rose

PRC Clinic GRAND OPENINING

Moms,

As you know, our MOMS group has supported the Will County Pregnancy Resource Center for many years with love through our prayers and specific outreaches. I wanted to pass this invitation on to you on behalf of the PRC. Prayerfully consider attending this event if your schedule allows and celebrate what God is doing in and through the center. Also, you might want to keep April 29, 2011 free on your calendar to attend the annual Walk for Life that will be held. Many of you have attended the walk in the past and have had a really fun day with your family.

Please take a few minutes and read through the email from Rosie below and the attached invitation.

Blessings to you all,
Rose
