Wrapping Party

Our December 16th playgroup is going to be a wrapping party! We will meet at the church building from 9-11 and childcare will be provided. Bring presents, wrapping paper and any other supplies you may need. Don't be shy-come even if you have just a few gifts to wrap and enjoy some company while getting things done out of sight! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Tea

Hello everyone! Our MOPS Christmas Tea is this Tuesday December 9th. It is going to be a wonderful meeting and our only one in December. We hope to see each and every one of you there! Have a great weekend~

December 2nd Playgroup

Just a reminder that our December 2nd playgroup will be at Kristin's house @ 1437 San Felipe Dr. Kristin has a fun Christmas craft prepared for the little ones that day!

Thank you to all those who prayed for my nephew Aiden. He broke the C2 vertebrae and has several torn ligaments in his neck. There was no damage to the spinal cord but he will have to wear a neck brace for 12 weeks.

Prayer Request

Please say a prayer for my 2 1/2 year old nephew Aiden. He is one of my sister Betsy's twins. He was jumping on her bed and fell off and one of his older brothers heard something crack. They took him to the ER where they did a CT scan but couldn't find anything broken. Since the fall he has been able to move his arms and legs but can't sit up or walk. He is in the hospital and the doctor is going to do an MRI today. Please pray for the doctors, my sister and brother-in-law and of course, Aiden.
Thanks,
Brigid

Prayer Request

Kristin got a call from Dawn McIntosh asking us to pray for her husband's cousin Sarah. She is a mid-20's mom of three and the doctors are trying to give a correct diagnosis for some health problems. It looks like she may have lymphoma. Dawn asked that we pray for Sarah and her family, as well as for the Dr's to get a good, clear diagnosis, and of course, a clear bill of health would be wonderful! :)
Thank you all for your prayers~
