Welcome to MOM!
A special thank you to past leader, Amy Stoker, who traveled from Ft. Worth to be with us and bless us with her beautiful song. Amy's selection, Legacy, is playing as the background music of this blog. May we always remember what Amy reminded us--that we are doing God's most important work by raising our children to know and love Him.

Monthly Mission Challenge Continues!
My challenge to each of you is to add $2.00 or more to your grocery bill each month and bring the items to the church for me to pick-up and take to the Round Rock Service Center. If all of us just do this small task once a month, I believe it will go a long way and serve our community GREATLY! By pulling together as a group we will do GODS work in strength and may the Lord bless our gifts each month.
Some items that are needed by the center are…
Canned vegetables (corn, peas, carrots)
Canned soupCanned beans (green, black, ranch, refried, pork’n beans, baked)
Canned tuna, meats, stews
Breakfast cereal
Pasta (spaghetti, macaroni, lasagna, hamburger helper meals)
Peanut Butter & Jelly
Toilet paper
Toiletry items such as shampoo, soap & toothpaste
You may bring your donation items to the weekly Thursday or Friday meeting of M.O.M. in Building 5, Room 127. Or, you may still drop your items at any time into the large blue plastic bin in the Family Life Center foyer at FUMC. It has “MOMs Missions” on the front of it. Please drop off your bag of items in our bin with your name and how much you spent on the bag (example = Kristi Rape / $2.00).

Visit us at C.O.P.
If you're a mom of a C.O.P. student, you can help in a couple of ways: First, stop by and visit with any interested moms and let them know how much you've benefitted from participating in M.O.M. Second, please encourage any moms you may know to stop and chat with us and pick up a flyer and invitation to the tea.
Looking forward to seeing you by the fountain!
Almost time for the Welcome Tea!
However, if you require childcare for the tea, you must reserve your spot by September 8th at 5 p.m. Follow this link to reserve your children's spot online http://www.fumc-rr.org/nurture/adultministries/womens/mom/

Fall Calendar is Set!
We're excited to have you join us for what promises to be a wonderful semester in the life of the Ministry of Motherhood!
2008-2009 Book Study
If you are a mother, you may not look in the mirror everyday and see yourself as having a great influence on the world, but you do! No one has a greater impact on the home than a mother, and that impact can be defeatingly negative or powerfully positive. This book will help ensure that your impact is positive. In the pages of this insightful and inspiring book, you will learn seven, simple principles for shaping your family for good--principles that work for stay-at-home and working moms alike. As you read this captivating book, you will see how your attitude and actions can fill the lives of those you care about the most with love and encouragement. Become the mom you've always wanted to be. You might even surpass your own dreams.
Not a reader? Try to find "errands" to run on book study days? We've got you in mind! We've purchased the book's companion DVD that summarizes each priniciple into 20-25 minute segments. On our four book study days spread throughout the year, we'll watch the DVD, then follow each segment with a group discussion on the principles presented. So, if you'd prefer not to purchase the book, you can still participate in and gain insight from our book study days.
Kim Heath, bargain hunter extraordinaire, is searching for the best price on the book and we will probably make a bulk purchase for those interested in owning the book. More information on that to come...

During the summer months while we are not meeting regularly, I have placed a large blue plastic bin in the FLC foyer at FUMC. It has “MOMs Missions” on the front of it. Please drop off your bag of items in our bin with your name and how much you spent on the bag (example = Kristi Rape / $2.00). I will collect all the items that you donate and deliver the items every third week of each month. When we go back in September to our regular meetings at FUMC, I will ask that you bring your food donations to your Thursday or Friday class and leave it for me in our classroom or the blue plastic bin in the FLC foyer.
