Mother's Day Fun

We started "celebrating" Mother's Day early this year.  We decided for our spring service project that we would make gift bags for the Teen MOPS group in town.  Each discussion group collected items for about three teen moms.  Because of other scheduling issues, the steering team ended up organizing the dividing the items into 12 bags.  It turns out that our moms were VERY generous.  Each of the teen moms got a bag overflowing with snacks, personal care items, journals and books, jewelry, and other fun things. 



Then we had our own Mother's Day tea for our last meeting on May 6.  The steering team provided finger foods and yummy desserts.  Each mom received a little jar of hand scrub thanks to our Creative Activities director.  And then we had fun playing "Never Have I Ever."  After the game and prizes for the winner of each table, we also had lots of Mom of the Day gifts.  It was a great way to end the year.
