Freezer Meals!

When you come visit us at Leavenworth MOPS you will be greeted with one of the friendliest ladies ever!  This is where you sign in, grab a pager, and get name tags for your kiddos!

The Nazarene Church has a wonderful, bright, friendly room waiting for the kids to come dress up and play!

The "Moppets" (our amazing helpers) play with the children while the mothers meet down the hall.

There is a crib for napping babies and plenty of room for the kids! The children are fed a snack, they play with toys, read books, and often make crafts.  Moms are encouraged to take their very young babies with them into the MOPS meeting, there are plenty of Moms willing to help hold the little ones!

Today's meeting was a chance to make freezer meals!  Each mom took home three dinners at no cost!  A BIG thank you to Brenda, Heidi and Lyssa who organized this project and to the church for the funding.  Truly amazing!  

The ham and cheese braid was fun to make.

Three meals ready for the freezer!

Please join us for the next MOPS meeting.  Thursday, October 25th from 9-11 at the Leavenworth Church of the Nazarene.  We will have a speaker and we'll be getting crafty!

Orphanage Gift Project Update

There is still lots of time to raise money for the orphans at Hands and Feet orphanage in Jacmel, Haiti.  We've moved our collection date to March 28th, our Easter MOPS meeting.  I (Anna) will be in charge of collecting and mailing in our gift. 

Our original idea was for our children to do projects or jobs at home to raise nickels and quarters for the orphans.  Of course you may participate however you wish.  Here are some chore ideas:

Older kids could do a lemonade stand or bake sale if we have a nice warm Saturday before March 28th! Or whatever else you all think of.  Here is one last link which may help in teaching our kids (and reminding ourselves) of God's perspective on money and giving.
