Baby Mania!!!

As you are all well aware....we have a bit of baby mania in our group!
We have to decided to celebrate with a shower for the October babies next Wednesday the 12th.
Brandy will be collecting money to purchase gift card for the 4 mamas due this month.
Please take a moment to write an encouraging word/scripture to these ladies to give them Wednesday. If you will not be able to make it, consider sending them an email, text or call. 
Looking forward to partying with you all! (I almost said "showering" with you all, but that just sounded bad!)

Spring 2011 semester

Hello Wonderful Ladies, I'm excited to tell you that Brandy Crowell will be helping me lead discussion this spring & Joni Tapp will be doing our group administration. We are so excited about our study because God confirmed in several ways that it was the material he wanted to use to teach us this semester. It is called, "Stepping Up, A Journey through the Psalms of Ascent" by Beth Moore. We will start on Feb 2 & be done by the first week of May. The book is $12.95 payable to first babtist. Our first meeting will take place in the choir room this year & then we will move up to our normal room. Please respond & let us know if you will be attending this year & if you will be bringing any friends. We would love it for you to put the information in your church bulletin if you attend somewhere besides first baptist because we love that we are a unified group of moms from many churches. We are looking for someone who might want to oversee that kid crafts arrive & snacks for kids are taken care of if you would be willing to do that let Joni know. Can't wait to see you Feb. 2, Lesile Shuler
