Our Last Club Mom ends with a party!

Tonight was our last Club Mom for the 2007-2008 season. We want to thank so many people!! A big thanks to the guys who run the kitchen and serve us so faithfully every Weds. Night! Another big thanks to Sally who is our menu planner/cook/baker/food purchaser--thank you for all you do! It is greatly appreciated! Thank you to Pastor Rich who came to enlighten us before our bible study. Thank you to all who helped take care of our children.




We had a fun last evening together...We had some giveaways, ate some healthy appetizers and made neckwraps!
Betty did a great job getting our wraps ready at home so all we had to do was fill them with either flaxseed or rice...which proved to be quite a job for some of the girls...Mindy!

These girls did more

chatting than filling I think and Michelle enjoyed her new wrap!

Mindy did a great job cleaning up after we were done. We were able to make a few extra's for some people in need at the church.

Thank you ladies for a wonderful year and we look forward to a wonderful start of 2008-2009

Pastor Rich's Ponderings-Quiet time with God

Another awesome talk from Pastor Rich! He talked to us about "How to have a quiet time with God" He gave us 5 reasons why a quiet time should be a priority in our schedule, the purpose of a daily quiet time, and resources to begin a daily quiet time with God.

I want to tell you about how to follow a simple plan to have a quiet time with God:
Schedule a 15 minute plan:
1 Minute to Relax-take deep breathes and prepare yourself to listen to what God will be telling you
4 Minutes Reading scripture:a few verses over and over or a longer passage
4 Minutes Reflecting...Personalize the scripture, put YOUR name right in the passage
2 Minutes Pondering and Recording in a journal
4 Minutes Praying

Make a quiet time with God a Priority...you'll never regret it.

We also discussed some Women's outings coming up:
Ladies Day at Gull Lake June 17-20. Check your calendar and bring a date that works for you next week...we'll try to get a carpool together to go.
Hearts at Home in Grand Rapids Oct 3-4...More info to come
Immanuel Women's Retreat Nov 7-8(?) More details to come

We also discussed some mission projects for Lansing Christian Services:
Collecting Board books by authors Suess, Carle, Bill Martin, Sam McBratney, Donald Crew.
Collecting new items for Layettes:Undershirt, Sleeper, Socks, optional outfit, book, wrapped in a receiving blanket.
Sock and Underwear collections

If you could bring these the last 2 weeks of Club Mom, and throughout the summer, we will bring this to Lansing Christian Services.

Make sure you mark your calendar for our end of the year party on April 30. We will be making neckwarmers, having some fingerfood (bring a plate to pass) and enjoying each other's company.

Next week, we'll finish our bible study book with the lesson "Friends with God"
