What to Expect the First Meeting

September 7th is our first meeting. Mothers can drop children off to Moppets beginning at 8:45 on the second floor of the Main Church Building. Please remember to label every item you bring in for your child.   Each mother and child will receive a mommy/child label sticker when she drops off her child.  Your child’s teacher will match this label when you pick up your child. 

Remember to please keep your child home if he/she has had any of the following in the last 24 hours: 

• Fever, vomiting or diarrhea

• Any symptom of childhood disease such as: chicken pox, mumps, whopping cough, scarlet fever or German Measles

• Cough or green runny nose

• Croup

• Any unexplained rash

• Any skin infections

• Pink eye or other eye irritations

• Any communicable disease

(If you have any doubts, please keep your child at home.)

Moms will meet in room 104 and will each be assigned a discussion group. (Your discussion group leader will let you know which group you belong to before the meeting.) You will need to look for that discussion group table and your name tag. There will be ladies there who can help you find your seat. Meetings start at 9 am with an on-time drawing, sign in, food/drink, and open fellowship until 9:30 am. At that time we will open with prayer, announcements and then games/ice breakers. Should we have a guest speaker, he/she will begin speaking at 10 am. If you are running late, please enter the room quietly. When a guest speaker is talking, please remain quiet. We will have discussion after the speaker has left. 

Mothers who have babies 6 months and under are allowed to bring them to the meetings. However, mothers with a child over 6 months are encouraged to leave them in the nursery. At this age, babies are more vocal, more mobile and require more attention from you. This distracts your attention from the meeting as well as the attention of other moms. During speaker time, if you find that your baby needs your attention we ask that you quietly leave to attend them. Many speakers have taken time from their work schedule, and we want to give them our full attention.

Also, we usually take pics for our directory on the first two meetings, so get your smile picture perfect! We look forward to seeing you!
