OOOPS! I forgot to tell you a few things
Hello again, Ladies
I forgot to include yesterday in the reminder about a few outreach projects…..
If you can, please remember we are having a secret shower for Dalys’s daughter. If you have anything a new mom could use, including words of advice in a card, please remember to bring it on Thursday. you can wrap any items or put them in a gift bag. Names on the bag are optional. We will be delivering the stuff to her daughter early next week. The Lord has really laid on our hearts to reach out to this young new mom and let her know God not only knows about her situation but He loves her and her new little baby dearly.
Please do not feel obligated to contribute if you are not at a point to be able to do so. Again, a card with encouraging words and prayer is just as powerful in God’s eyes and those in whom they have been offered on behalf of.
Secondly, the food pantry is in need of diapers. We will be collecting diapers all this month to deliver to the food pantry. We have chosen to do this activity as our Spring Outreach since the PRC is well blessed with food and diapers at this time. Our love and support will still be with the Will County PRC as we come together to support them in their Annual Walk for Life in April.
Also, we are still in need of some ladies to bake for the couples event on March 20th. If you have already received an email from Priscilla, she has your name and has you on the list. if you are willing to help support this event (they in turn are supporting our MOMS group and will give us some PR) by baking, please let myself or Priscilla know asap. Any amount of cookies or brownies are appreciated.
As sisters in Christ we stand in the gap for those whom the Lord lays on our hearts. I am so blessed to call you all my sisters. I treasure each one of you and pray for you and your families. Today is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!!!!!
Blessings to you,

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

Think About What You Think About
Nick was a tough guy with a bad outlook. He worked on the railways. One night after all his fellow workers had gone home he accidentally locked himself in a refrigerated carriage. Worried that the temperature was below freezing, he yelled for help, but to no avail. The more he thought about his situation the colder he felt, until eventually he started shivering uncontrollably. Convinced he was dying, he wrote a letter to his family outlining what had happened. The next morning they found Nick's body. An autopsy revealed that he had indeed frozen to death. But the investigators discovered something puzzling. The carriage in which Nick was trapped was out of order and had been disconnected. The night he froze to death the temperature in the boxcar was 16.1 degrees, just below room temperature. But because he expected to die, he lost the battle in his mind.
What you believe about your life is more important than what anyone else believes. Job said, 'What I feared has come upon me.' Be careful what you anticipate; negative expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies. God has promised to help you, but you get the deciding vote. By focusing on the negative you're agreeing to let satan defeat you. Jesus said, '... "According to your faith will it be done for you"' (Matthew 9:29 NIV}. So get into agreement with God's Word and focus on His promises instead of your problems. When you do, your faith will take you to new levels of victory. But it's up to you to take the first step!

Upcoming Meeting
Hello Ladies,
Just a friendly reminder we are in the Ministry Training room across from Noah’s Park for this Thursday’s meeting. Rebekah will be talking about Intimacy, exactly what it is in a marriage and how to get more of it. Sounds like a great topic. Can’t wait to hear the message.
Also, please remember that Thursday is also our Culver’s fundraiser. Plan on meeting up with other moms at Culver’s on 75th street for some fellowship, lunch and good ice cream following the meeting!! The fundraiser goes the entire day so if you can’t make it for lunch, maybe a quick ice cream after school for the kids or dinner out….no cooking!!!
Toni is also in need for some meals this week. She has a doctor appointment tonight and is afraid they may put her in the hospital for a short stay due to an infection. Please be praying for her and her girls and husband. If you can make a meal this week or next it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I know the cards in the mail and the prayers have made a great impact on her ability to hang in there. Please continue to cover her in prayer and support her as the Lord lays on your heart. Let me know if you can do a meal.
Remember, God has a great plan for your life!!!!! And although He has the plan, It is our responsibility to be taking care of ourselves, to be in prayer and to be in His Word so that that plan and path is laid out clear for us to see and walk in. I am so thankful for the sisters in Christ I have to encourage me and support me along the way. I am sure you agree and so as you read this, please say a prayer for your secret sister and stand in the gap for her and her family.
See you all on Thursday!
In Him,
Rose

PRC Annual Walk for Life
Dear MOMS,
I know we just had a blizzard and walking outdoors is the FARTHEST thing from our minds right now! However this is just a heads up to "save the date" and think about getting involved with the Will County's Pregnancy Resource Center's big spring fund raiser. Our Annual Walk for Life will be on Saturday morning April 30th this year. A location is still pending for the walk but the date is set. I am hoping to see many of you come out for a fun filled morning with your families. There will be music, food, games, face painting, balloons and prize give aways for all who come out to support us.
This year you can once again register yourself and others online at www.hopeforafuture.com. When you get to the website you click onto the EVENTS page and then go to the Walk for Life site from there. If you wish to download and print a pledge form you can do so at this site. You can also specify the size WFL t-shirt you want for the event. Maybe some of you would consider doing a "MOMS team" of walkers. Or how about asking your friends, family members or neighbors to join you for this fun event. At the PRC we are limited as to how many people we can reach to get this important information out. With your help however we can reach a great number of individuals who believe in what this ministry stands for.
Ok well just wanted to give you the heads up on this event. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks and God bless!
