Meeting Recap 5 Nov

Hey everyone!

I think we had a great meeting on Friday. I know we only got to two of the Convention Share Sessions, but I'm planning on putting the notes from all three on the Nesting site so everyone can have them available.

Here's what we did Friday:

Kathleen reminded everyone about the Thanksgiving Food Drive to be held at our next meeting, November 19. Don't forget the things EFBHNM needs the most -
Canned meat
juice
jelly
crackers
mac & cheese
flour
rice
corn meal
toddler sized diapers
toilet paper
sample size toiletries

Also, we're going to be going out to EFBHNM on November 22 to hand out Thanksgiving food. I went last year and it's a lot of fun. Childcare is $3/child, and they need a lunch. Let Kathleen know if you're interested in coming and didn't get a chance to sign up. We're meeting at the church at 9 and heading over soon after.

I've had a few requests for the recipes of the things everyone is bringing to the meetings. Post them on the Nesting site (we have a thread for recipes already), and I'll put some on the blog too.

Charlotte talked about Matthew 7.20 at the meeting too. She asked us to think about what we're praying for. Don't just pray for the big stuff, think about the small details too.

My favorite part? "Children are a gift from God. They are His reward."

We started praying for our kids last week too. Colin and Benjamin Shearer; Jackson Dias; Luke and Mackenzie Harrison; Madeline, Chloe and Mason Hill; Kendall, Hailey, Austin and Travis Merkel; Hailey and Mason Nuno; Sarah Steinhaus; Austin Stump; and Aleah and Andrew Thummel.

Don't forget to send me pictures of your kids. I only have about 10 people who've sent them in. I need them asap! My email address is CoriAtkins@gmail.com if you don't know it.

Hope everyone has a great week. See you next Friday!
