February Events!!

Hello MOPS !

Just wanted to give you a little run down on what February is going to look like:

February 10th (Tuesday) from 9:30-11:30am is our monthly MOPS meeting in the Kid's Church room at GFCC. Have your kids there by 9:15 to register them into the nursery and if possible, please RSVP to the evite we sent you so we know how many nursery workers we need. :)

Also, on Tuesday, February 24th at 10AM in the kitchen at GFCC we will be hosting a cookie decorating session with our kid's for Tag a Long Tuesday. It's going to be a fun one!

Please feel free to email us at gfccmops@gmail.com with any further questions, or if you would like to be put on our email list.

Mops first meeting of 2009!

2009-01-07T11:00:00.000-08:00

Hope you all had a blessed Christmas season~

We hope you can join us for our January MOPS meeting at the church on January 13th from 9:30-11:30 am. Get there a little early to get your kids settled into childcare and look for your evite invitation in your email to RSVP for food and childcare purposes.

Happy Thanksgiving

2008-11-25T07:46:00.000-08:00

to all our MOPS mom's!!!! If you are traveling, we pray for safe travels. As we celebrate things we are thankful for, we are thankful for YOU and the fact that God put us all in each other's lives. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Stay tuned...

2008-11-17T07:45:00.000-08:00

for tips on traveling with kids. These idea's were given by you, our MOPS mom's at our last meeting, and we have some good one's!

October MOPS Meeting

2008-10-12T12:45:00.000-07:00

We will be holding our next MOPS Meeting this Tuesday, October 14th , from 9:30-11:30am at Great Falls Christian Center.

You all should have received something called an "e-vite" for this by now. We would love to know your thoughts on this new system of pre-registering. It seems to be a little easier in that all you have to do is click "yes, I'll be there" or "no, I won't be there" and you don't have to go out of your way to seek us out! :)

If you did not receive the e-vite, please email us and ask to be put on the email list.

Tag a Long Tuesday is Tomorrow

2008-09-22T08:44:00.000-07:00

We will be meeting at Lion's Park at 10AM (across from Hardee's) to get our kids out to enjoy the last of the decent weather (hopefully!). Pack a lunch for you and your kids and meet us there!

Titus Time canceled for Sept.

2008-09-15T09:34:00.000-07:00

Hi MOPS Mom's!

We will be canceling Titus Time at Jaker's for this month. Partially due to lack of interest and partially due to the fact that we will be joining GFCC's women's ministry called "Girlfriend Encounters". It will basically be the same thing as Titus Time, but a great opportunity to meet other women who are not associated with MOPS. Let us know if you have any question's regarding this change.

Have a blessed day!
