Operation Christmas Child


We will be participating in Operation Christmas Child again this year.  If you missed the last meeting and did not get to see the video, this is a project that collects boxes of goodies to send to kids in other countries that do not have money for presents.  It is a ministry and often kids accept Christ as a result of these boxes.

If you haven't already started planning your group's box filling "party" don't forget to do so.  We will collect the boxes at the Nov. 15th meeting.

Click HERE to download a coupon for a Veggie Tales video as a "thank you" from OCC for participating.

October Meetings Recaps

October 4th Meeting

Courtney Freeny, a relationship coach, returned again this year to deliver a great message about freeing ourselves of "Mommy Guilt."  It is so hard as a mom to not allow guilt to creep in and take away some of our joy of mothering.


October 18th Meeting

 

We changed things up a bit and watched the session about food on Jen Hatmaker's DVD about her book 7.  It was very thought provoking about how much excess there really is in our lives and it was interesting to hear from her how cutting out the excess effected hers and her family's lives.


I do not know why I cannot seem to remember to take pictures at the meetings, so I apologize for the pictureless update.  Hopefully next meeting I can finally get it all together!
