We'll have brunch, an egg hunt with the kids, and we'll take some time to discuss and celebrate the beautiful victory of Easter. Bring a breakfast/lunch/brunch dish to share and egg-collecting baskets for your MOPPETS. If you have one, bring a Bible, too.  Feel free to bring a friend!

This past MOPS meeting (March 3,2010) we had Pastor Ken Monahan came and talked on discipline. He taught us what is the right and wrong way to discipline your child and gave us some very helpful tips. We had a great discussion time with him and enjoyed chatting with each other about things we deal with in our everyday lives. I know I walked away with lots of tools to help me in the discipline area of my life. Pastor Ken is the senior pastor at Dover Baptist Church. http://www.doverbaptistchurch.org/

Goodwin Update 1/11

I am closing down the ChipIn widget and getting ready to deposit funds for the Goodwins.  If you're still looking to donate monetarily, they have accounts with Holy Rosary Credit Union or Northeast Credit Union. Please make your check payable to “The Goodwin Family Fire Fund”.

They are still in need of temporary housing, preferably in Strafford so their kids can continue to take the bus to school.  A few more tall bureaus are also welcome donations as are gift cards and groceries.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
