Digital Scavenger Hunt on Mar 18, at 07:00PM

Hey Ladies!

I hope you all can join us for this month's Mom's Night Out. We really have a fun night planned for you!

We are all going to meet at the church at 7:00 and then head out for a digital scavenger hunt. If you have not done one of these before, they are SO much fun! We are planning on leaving Church around 7:15pm and returning around 8:30ish to enjoy some yummy desserts!

Please bring $5 for dessert

Hope you can make it and PLEASE feel free to invite friends! Just let me know how many are coming so we can plan accordingly! :)

MOPS Meeting Tuesday, March 9th

Hi MOPS ladies!

It seems hard to believe, but our next MOPS meeting is almost here! Our meeting this month will be tomorrow -- Tuesday, March 9th, from 9:15-11:15 am. The childcare rooms are open by 9 am, so come early, drop the kids off, and relax! We're looking forward to seeing YOU tomorrow! Our special speakers will be Eleta and another special guest from Bethany Christian Services. They will be sharing about a different side of 'planet mom' than what most of us have experienced. I think this will truly bless your heart, and we'll have an opportunity to help some of these moms with a service project in the next month! So please plan to come and see what it's all about!

We've also got some fun stuff going on our blog (http://springcreekmops.blogspot.com), be sure to check it out!

Also, just a reminder for those of you with kids ages 2 and up, due to steady increase in attendance, we will be dividing the kids into 3 rooms instead of only 2. So that means that 2 year olds, 3 year olds and 4-5 year olds will each have their own rooms. We'll have signs up on Tuesday, and most of you are familiar with these rooms, as your kids are there on Sundays, but if you have any questions, please ask!

As always, I know we'll have great food (the mentor moms are on for this month!!) and amazing fellowship...I'm looking forward to seeing each of you tomorrow!

Sincerely,
Amy Gruetzmacher

What Do You Love About Being A Mom?

I can be a kid again!
Debra Bender

*Snuggles
*Wrestling and tickles to hear their giggles
*Hugs and kisses
*"You're the best Mommy ever!"
*Yummy smell after baths
Jamie Poelzer

A better understanding of exactly how our dear Lord loves us unconditionally! In addition to those unlimited hugs, kisses and "I love yous!".
Jessica DeGraff

Seeing everything as if for the first time through the eyes of my children. The wonderment is amazing and so is the unconditional love.
Deanna Braman

The light of joy in my little one's eyes when they are doing right things and having fun. Sarah and Micah playing and giggling together. Snuggle time in PJ's. Chasing Micah while crawling at top speed around the living room. Wondering how little boys instinctively know what sound a truck makes. Reading to Sarah. Listening to Bible songs sung from Sarah's car seat. And, of course, hugs.
