September 2009

PRESIDENT'S WELCOME

I hope everyone had a restful summer full of great times with your family. It is hard to believe school is back in session and our first MOMS meeting is upon us. Michele Nelson has put together a great list of speakers that will entertain, inform and enlighten all of us. We have many fun events scheduled for the year for ourselves and our children. I am so pleased to serve you as President this year and give many thanks to the board members already busy preparing to make this year the best yet! Our community is a sacred place where we share the fellowship of motherhood. Let us all pray for all of our precious children this year as they continue to grow, start school for the first time or return back for another year of learning. May God bless our 2009-2010 season!

"Children are a gift from God" Psalm 127:3

Blessings,

Megan Thornton

SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Starting in September the parish is offering two different opportunities for parishioners to participate in a spiritual growth and faith-sharing series based on Father Ron Rolheiser's book, The Holy Longing.

The daytime sessions, for women only, will be Wednesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m beginning September 16th and will be facilitated by Gail Lehman with Debra Cook's assistance. The evening sessions, for both men and women, will be Thursday evenings beginning September 24, from 7-9 p.m. and will be facilitated by Randy Kilmer and Amy Yoste.

You can register by sending Maggie a check for $15 to pay for the cost of materials. Please have them indicate if it's for the daytime or evening sessions. If they have questions you can e-mail Debra at debra.cook52@gmail.com.

CLASSIFIEDS

Precious Toddler Bed for Sale:

We purchased this toddler bed in June of this year and only used it about a month before we decided to transition our nearly 3 year old into a full size bed. She's very tall and we went ahead & made the switch sooner than we thought we would. It's in perfect condition, obviously since it's only been used just under a month! We paid $193 for it, but will take $125. If you need the crib mattress also, it will be $140. It's KidKraft brand & great quality. We purchased it at Lone Star Baby in Frisco. If you would like to come by & look at it in person, please contact Tara at taraewalsh@yahoo.com. Please feel free to pass along to anyone interested!
