Childcare Update

Due to the increase in kids we have this year, we've had to make some changes to the childcare provided to better accommodate the kids and workers. Here are the changes to expect beginning this Wednesday.

--Until further notice, there will be no childcare for children under 1 year, unless your child is a steady walker. If you have a child who is younger than 1 year, then you need to keep your child with you for the duration of our meetings. If your child is less than one year and a steady walker, your child may go to the young toddler room if you feel comfortable.

--There will be three different childcare rooms for the different ages: 1-2 (young toddlers), 2s and 3s (toddlers), and 3.5plus/preschool (for kids who are 3.5 years and older). The young toddlers will meet in the nursery on the right side, toddlers on the left, and the preschool room is the room located in the foyer across from the other nurseries. Signs will be posted on the doors, and Jennie Beare and I will be available to direct you to the correct room if you need help.

--So that each room can be adequately staffed with adult workers, two moms will be required to volunteer with childcare each meeting. On Wednesday, Jennie will pass around a sign up sheet for you to pick a date that you will volunteer. Moms who are exempt from this are those who have to keep their baby with them beause their child is less than one year. Jennie or I will remind you of your turn to volunteer in the childcare rooms via email or a phone call the week of our MUGGS meetings.

--We kindly ask that you pick up your children immediately after Jenn or Tammy dismisses us or closes our meeting. When you pick up your child, please help the nursery workers pick up any mess that is yet to be cleaned up. If you want to stay and chat with other moms or help clean up after our meetings, please feel free to do so after picking up your children. We want to honor the time commitment the nursery workers have volunteered for, and want to help them leave promptly so they can move on with their busy days.

Thank you for your cooperation, and if you have any questions feel free to contact Christine at christineroberts329@gmail.com or Jennie Beare at bearetodd@aol.com. See you Wednesday!

It's a MUGGS Week!

Hey MUGGS Moms,

It is a muggs week this week and we are so excited to get started with our new study on Wednesday. The books arrived at my house today and we are looking forward to learning more about the love of Jesus in this study. We will start our brunch time at 9:15 and then will dive into our study time at 10 this Wednesday.

 Jennie & Christine have been working on finding more childcare workers to help with the increase of children we have this year. We plan to add a 3rd nursery room to accomodate all the children. If you know of ANYONE who might be willing to help please let us know.

  I encourage you to come Wednesday with expectation in your spirit of all God desires to teach us.

God Bless, Jenn

Tomorrow, It Begins!!

MUGGS Moms,

Tomorrow is our first meeting of the 2012-2013 session. We are so excited to get going and look forward to gathering together to encourage one another. This year we are excited to be working through a study that will draw us closer to Jesus, deeper into a love relationship with the One who can meet all our needs if we will just turn to him with the concerns of our heart.

As always come enjoy our time together starting with Brunch followed by the introduction of our study and devotional presented by our new co-teacher Tammy Hayes. There will be a sign-up to order a workbook for our study, "Falling in Love with Jesus" which we highly recommend you commit to complete throughout the year. This study guide will help you dig deeper and come to know Jesus more.

Keep you eyes open for new moms that may be joining us. Do your best to make them feel welcome along with welcoming moms who have been attending previously. We want everyone to feel welcome, loved, and encouraged in our group!!

So excited to see you all tomorrow!!

Love in Christ,
Jenn
