Happy New Year!!
 
I pray that your holidays were a blessed time with family and friends. It's hard to believe another year has passed and we are starting 2013. We are looking forward to another great year with MUGGS and hope you will all be able to join us this Wednesday, January 9th at 9:15. We will be taking a look at "It Had to Be You", week 4 of Falling in Love with Jesus after enjoying the time of food and fellowship.
 
See you all Wednesday!!

MUGGS Christmas Party

Hey there!
 
 
Tomorrow is our MUGGS Christmas party. We will meet at our usual time - 9:15 and have a fun morning of celebrating the gift of Jesus together. Tammy will be sharing a Christmas devotional and we will be doing a gift exchange and sharing some favorite Christmas goodies together.
 
 
So please bring:
A gift for the gift exchange - regifting is encouraged, if there is something around your house that your not using and you think another mom might enjoy wrap it up and bring it along. If you can't find anything to bring from home, do not spend more than $5 on a gift for the exchange. We will put all the gifts in the middle of a big circle and we will draw numbers to choose a gift or steal - so come ready to have fun!
 
 
A snack to share - Instead of our usual brunch we ask that everyone bring along a snack to share. This can be a plate of your favorite holiday cookies, a veggie plate, or any other snack you would like to share. Please don't stress about this and if you need to go very simple that's okay.
 
 
We look to forward to seeing you all tomorrow! Have a great day!
 
 
Blessings,
Jenn

MUGGS - Wednesday, November 28th

Hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Thanks to Tammy and the rest of the leadership team for carrying on in my absence last time. Your prayers were answered for my son Seth. The doctor found and removed a polyp and told us that Seth has a healthy colon and should not need another colonoscopy until he's 50, PTL!
 
 I hear that due to the time of prayer you all didn't get to the study. I appreciate Tammy's sensitivity to the prompting of the Spirit and her prayer warrior heart.  So we will take a look at chapter 3 - "Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places" this week after our brunch time together. Please bring along contributions for Christmas gifts for the childcare workers this week.
Hope to see you all on Wednesday!
 
Blessings!
Jenn

MUGGS This Week - 11/14

Hey MUGGS Moms,

It's a MUGGS week. After our extra week off it's time for MUGGS again - thanks to Nicole for the reminder that we didn't have MUGGS last week, anytime there are 5 Wednesdays in a month it gets tricky. We meet on 2nd & 4th Wednesdays, except in December where we only meet on the 2nd Wednesday.
 
 
We will start with brunch at 9:15 and then move to our study time at 10 where we will be exploring "Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places" - week 3 of "Falling in Love with Jesus". Along with our study we will have a time of prayer for little Duncan and Bridell family. Remember to bring items for the gift basket for the Bridells!!
 
 
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend on Wednesday due a test my son Seth is having at Blank that morning, but Tammy and the rest of the leadership team will carry on beautifully in my absence I am sure. I would appreciate your prayers for Seth as he goes through the colonoscopy - and for healing for his gut. The gastroenterologist thinks he either has a polyp or ulcerative colitis. We are praying it is just a polyp and that they will be able to deal with it during the procedure.
 
 
Praying you have a wonderful week!
 
 
Blessings,
Jenn

MUGGS Week - Study Begins

Hey ladies,
It's a MUGGS week!! I'm so looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces and we are excited to get started with our study, "Falling in Love with Jesus". It has been so exciting to see our group grow and flourish this fall. I am excited about all God is doing through our group! We will discuss week 1, so if you have the workbook do your best to complete pages 6-20. No one will be checking to see if homework if complete:), so no judgement if you are not able to get it done - you will still benefit from our study time.
Hope to see you on Wednesday!
Blessings,
Jenn

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
