Hi moms,
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Although, everyday is "thanksgiving" when you have Christ in your life...I hope you enjoyed the day with friends and family!
This Tuesday the "Safety of Self Control" is our topic of discussion. What prefect timing... God is so good. It's so easy for things to get out of control during the holiday season...I've heard people say that they eat too much, spend too much, worry too much...I'm certain that none of us do that! Tuesday, we'll talk about what God's word says; what his good an perfect will is for our life.
See you Tuesday and have a great weekend!
Lori

Hi moms!
Detective Pruitt put together a great presentation for us this past Tuesday. It was a little overwhelming to hear some of the statistics. I hope you found the information useful and feel better informed on how to protect your children when they use the internet. I know I do.
If you know of a family who needs help buying Christmas gifts for their children, please let Elba know and she will add them to the "Angel Tree".
Give Thanks!.......This Tuesday Nov 24th is our Thanksgiving Day Brunch. Please bring a dish to share if you are able. If you forgot what you signed up to bring, email me or give me a call . We will also be making prayer journals and Amanda will be leading that craft. Remember to encourage and lift one another up in prayer daily. "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again; Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:4-7
Have a blessed week.

The Blessing of Children
Hi moms,This month our topic of discussion is "The Blessing of Children". This week we learned 10 ways to love our children, based on the book "A Woman's High Calling", by Elizabeth George. We also talked about discovering our children's love language, based on the book by Gary Chapman, "The Five Love Languages of Children."
"Ultimately, our most important job as moms is to lead our children to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, their eternity depends on it."Don't forget your homework assignment this week! Observe your children and find their primary love language.
Next Tuesday, guest speaker Chris Pappas will continue our disscusion on "The Blessing of Children". Hope to see you there, you won't want to miss it.

Wow! Look at this beautiful basket! Thank you to all of you who contributed baby items for Tonya and Karissa today at MIC! What a blessing!
Also, a big thank you to the "Crafty Ladies" at Cornerstone for the adorable prayer blankets and nursing covers! Isn't it gorgeous?!
Katie Rockett shared her creative side with us and walked us through this fun craft. Great sticky fun!
While we worked on our craft, we had Anita Renfroe on the screen.

A message from Pastor Greg:
Dear Moms and Grandmothers,
On January 30, 2010 we will be hosting a very special conference entitled "A Passion For Jesus." This one day conference is especially targeted to young ladies ages 12 through college age. Moms and grandmothers are encouraged to attend with their daughters.
There's plenty of time to register, and we'll provide brochures and the opportunity to do that over the next couple of months, but I would encourage you to go to their website and check it out, then put it on your calendar as a priority. This one day event will have a lasting impact on your daughter / granddaughter. It is led by other young ladies they can really identify and connect with, and the relational and spiritual implications are huge.
Go to http://www.apassionforjesus.com/ and check it out. Bruce will share more about the conference as the time draws closer, but I know how busy all of our schedules can be and want to get it into your calendars now so you will not miss it!

What a fun and diverse group of ladies we had with us at MIC this past Tuesday! Thank you for spending your morning with us!
Our "homework" last week was to purposefully look for ways to cherish and prize our husbands. We were challenged to focus on the good and praiseworthy things that our husbands do instead of dwelling on the less important things like the laundry in the corner, the toilet seat up or the endless "to do" list that he can't keep up with.
Ellen Bland led our study and did a wonderful job! We had lots of laughs and we are so thankful for her.
Next Tuesday we will be presenting 2 moms with baskets full of baby items. Karissa is a first time mom and Tonya will be welcoming her 7th baby soon! If you are able, could please bring in baby items for this occasion? Diapers, baby wipes, onesies, toys and such would be a blessing to these ladies.
What a great God we serve! We pray that you are enjoying your mornings out with "Moms In Christ".
Have a wonderful weekend and praise God for the things He has done!
