Hi Everyone!
I hope each of you had a Happy Thanksgiving and found a wee bit of time to relax. Because guess what? It’s DECEMBER! Holy cow and that means Christmas is right around the corner. But even better than that is the December Mission for MOMs. We will be Adopting a Family through the Round Rock Serving Center this month.
Within the next few days, we will have the honor of selecting a family that lives right here in Round Rock to help fulfill their Christmas wishes. We will be picking a larger family and donating what we can to make sure this is a Christmas to remember (you can donate individually or get together with a small group for higher priced items).
We will be wrapping the gifts the final week of MOMs (December 16 &17) so if you have extra wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbon, tags, etc. please feel free to donate those items. Specifics for the family requests will be shared with the group early next week. I hope you are as excited about this mission as we are – ‘tis the season!
Happy Holidays!
Laura

Race for the Cure
On Sunday, November 7th, MOMs members donned their pink clothing and participated in Race for the Cure – Austin. We had a beautiful morning to walk, support the families who are fighting this disease and to remember those who have succumbed. Thank you for your prayers and donations – you made a difference to many women and families right here in Central Texas. We will continue the good fight – THINK PINK!

Moms on a Mission
This month the Moms group is running the Twin Oaks Cafe at church. All of the proceeds we make go directly back to the many wonderful missions we do each year. If you are around on any Sunday in October make sure to stop by the Cafe, and pick up a beverage, donuts or breakfast taco.
This past Sunday was our first Sunday in the cafe and it was a huge hit! Many thanks to the wonderful volunteers who helped donate items for the cafe, and those who are also donating their time to the cafe. If you are interested in learning how you can help out, feel free to contact Laura Tinglestad, our Missions Coordinator at gigglemeister@att.net.

School Supply Mission
Well, it’s official…we are halfway through summer and school supply shopping is sure to be on your calendar; which brings me to our next important mission for the summer of 2010! We will be collecting school supplies for A World for Children (MOMs has supported this organization for several years and they are so grateful for your contributions). A World for Children (AWFC) is a faith based, non-profit child placing agency licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS) to provide foster care for abused and neglected children, ages birth to 18 years. As you can imagine, they are in dire need of our help to make sure each child is ready for school this year. Now is a great time to donate as school supplies are on SALE! SALE! SALE! So when you are out and about, please print out the attached list and take with you on your next errand run (please note the list is items needed per child and any type of donation you can contribute is greatly appreciated). You will make a difference in a child’s life J.
Here is a list of the needed supplies.
Please place your donations in the MOM MISSION blue bin in the Family Life Center foyer or give to one of your friendly council members for collection. We will be collecting from today, July 19th through Wednesday, August 3rd. I will be making a delivery on Friday, August 6th to their offices in Round Rock (if anyone would like to join me, I’m always up for company!).
As always, please let me know if you have any questions about this mission and I will be happy to assist you. For more information on the organization, please feel free to visit their website: http://www.awfc.org/.
I hope you are having an enjoyable summer and thank you for all you do to make our community a more caring, loving place to live! See you around town!
Peace,
Laura Tinglestad

Registration for the Fall
We are very excited that the begining of the semester is right around the corner. Our Welcome tea is on Thursday, September 9th from 9:30 to 11:30am in the church foyer. If you would like to register for the tea and get your kids registered for the Tea childcare please follow this link.
Our first official meeting will begin September 16th and 17th. If you would like to register for the Fall semester please fill out the registration form. You can turn in your form as early as the Welcome Tea or if you like you can turn it in at one of the meetings. We do ask that members pay a registration fee of $65 a semester to help defer the costs of childcare and the costs associated with running the Ministry of Motherhood. This year we ask that you submit your cash or check payment at the same time you submit your registration form. Sheramee Fowler, our Registrar, will be accepting forms and payment at the Welcome tea and during the first several meetings.
If you would like to take advantage of childcare during the Mom's meetings. Please fill out this form and submit it to Dana Anderson, our Childcare Coordinator. She will also be taking forms at the Welcome tea or during the first few weeks of the semester. Please be aware that childcare is filled on a first come first serve basis, and it can fill up quickly.
Please keep in mind that the registration for the Tea and the Fall Semester are two completely different forms. Each form must be filled out independently of one another.
We are really excited about the beginning of this new year! And we are really looking forward to seeing all the new and veteran faces of Mom's.

Easter mission
Our kids had a great time visiting the residents at the Heatherwilde Assisted Living home in April. To celebrate Easter our Missions Coordinator planned several crafts, egg dying, an Easter egg hunt and quality one on one time with the residents.
It was a great time! The kids loved that we started things off with the Easter egg hunt. The staff and residents did an amazing job hiding the eggs! And everyone got in on the fun of crafting necklaces, and crosses. A favorite of all was the egg dying.
Getting ready for the egg hunt.

Mission Meetings
At last week's meeting, we focused on missions.
The Thursday girls worked on relief boxes for Haiti.
Friday's group decorated for the COP Daddy/Daughter Dance.
Both days were able to hear about the February Mission, Milagros.
Milagros is a nonprofit organization created to provide support for families in Central Texas affected by Congenital Heart Defects.
One of the Milagros' core programs is to provide Heart Bags - bags that contain items that will help a family through the hospital experience - to families and patients who come through the cardiac program at the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas. The hope is that the bag will bring each family some comfort and knowledge that there are many heart families that have been in very similar situations.
Items Most Needed for the Milagros Heart Bags
Crayons
Pocket Folders
Activity Pads
Coloring Books
Reading Books
Spiral Notebooks
Individual Tissue Packets Pens
Hand Sanitizer
