Favorite Things

It is hard to believe, but the last MOPS meeting of 2013 is this Thursday morning.  We will be getting in the Christmas spirit and sharing our favorite things.  Please bring one of your favorite things that is about $5 for a gift exchange.  Some examples of things that you might bring are: a gift card to a favorite place, beauty product, a yummy treat, etc.  Bring your item wrapped and we will have a fun gift exchange.  We will be making a cute Christmas ornament and enjoying some time with our girl friends before Christmas arrives.  EVERYONE will be bringing food this week for breakfast.

"UNWRAP THE LOVE OF CHRIST" Christmas Dinner w/ Gwen Smith:  

LADIES!  You do NOT want to miss this event! 

Gwen Smith is heading back to Arizona for our annual Christmas dinner, where she will wrap up our year of being intentional!  We had the pleasure of having her here last fall for our 'Broken Into Beautiful' conference, and we are SO excited to have her back. This year, we are having Gwen here for not one, but TWO nights to make sure everyone has a chance to see her. The program is the same both nights, so you can choose either evening to join us!

Friday, Dec. 6       6:00-8:30 PM

WHERE:  Worship Center at CCC

SERVICE PROJECT:  We will also be doing a service project to benefit The Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler.   The Pregnancy Care Center of Chandler is a non-profit Christian organization that assists women facing an unplanned pregnancy. They provide free services including pregnancy tests, options counseling, referrals and resources as well as ultrasounds. For more information, visit their website at www.pccchandler.com.  If you are able, and would like to participate,  please bring any of the following items with you to the Christmas Dinner:

*Diapers, diaper wipes, baby wash, baby shampoo &/or new children's clothing (size 6months-4T) for their clothing boutique.

The Friday event is nearly sold out (only a handful of tickets left), but we are still selling tickets for Thursday evening.  You will be INSPIRED, ENCOURAGED, and BLESSED as we kick off the Christmas season with Gwen Smith!
