Our Next meeting is December 3rd


Our December MOPS meeting is titled "A Star is Born". You are NOT going to want to miss this MOPS! There are going to be several surprises at the meeting. This meeting we will celebrate the JOYS of Jesus' birth. We will also have our "annual" cookie/candy exchange. This is a great way to get a lot of samples of Christmas type cookies and candies. ***If you want to participate please bring 4 dozen homemade cookies or candies to exchange. WARNING: if you use peanuts, peanut butter, peanut oil, or any other type of nut product PLEASE label your tray/lid so that we can keep these cookies away from the other items. There are some moms whose children have a severe allergy. We will separate these at the meeting to prevent any emergencies!
PLEASE come to the meeting even if you do not want to participate in the cookie/candy exchange. We do not want to stress any mother out by the task of 4 dozen cookies. So if the thought of that causes ANY stress please do not participate in the exchange. Just come to the meeting and enjoy the surprises.
Also remember to RSVP and let us know if you are or are not going to be able to attend. Make sure you either facebook, e-mail hilaryaustinrdh@yahoo.com, or call your discussion group leader to tell her yes or no and how many children you are bringing. This helps us out SO much!
FYI: there will not be a December Play date this month due to the wonderful Christmas season.
Lastly, this would be a great month to bring your child(rens) volunteer childcare worker a card or note to thank them for taking good care of your child(ren). Thanks!

November Play Date: RSVP is needed

We will be having our NOVEMBER Play Date at First Baptist Church of Ozark on Thursday November 19th at 10 AM. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors. This play date is a little different than the ones we have had in the past because we NEED an RSVP. Paint, Pottery, and More from Ozark, MO will be bringing all the supplies needed (pottery pieces, paint, paintbrushes, paint smocks, etc) for us to paint Christmas Ornaments, Plates, Mugs, etc with our preschooler. This is a great time to make a creative gift for the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and yourself.

The reason we need a headcount is so that Paint, Pottery, and MORE knows how many pieces to bring. So if you are coming with 3 children but you want to make 6 ornaments for Christmas presents we need to know that.


The Price is $3 per person plus the price of the pottery piece. They will be bringing pottery pieces that range from $3-20. FYI: At the playdate they will collect your money for the total product. If you want to stop in their store to see what they have to give you an idea of what you want feel free to do that. They are located on the square in Ozark.

Paint, Pottery, and MORE are doing us a great service because we do not have to take our preschoolers and strollers in their store with so many breakables. They are also going to take the finished pieces back to their studio to be fired. When they are ready they will bring them back to the church (usually a week later) individually wrapped with your name on them. EASY!

Again please let your discussion group leader, e-mail me at hilaryaustinrdh@yahoo.com OR Facebook our group to let us know if you are planning on attending and an estimate of how many pieces you are going to make. They more the merrier!
