MOPs Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

The Harbor MOPs Spaghetti Dinner Crew

 

 

Phew! There is a lot of hard work, time, and energy that goes into hosting a spaghetti dinner fundraiser!  During our MOPs meeting, some of the moms worked hard prepping the veggies for the salad, cooking the ground beef, and preparing the tables. 

But as you can see we had a lot of fun in the kitchen!  There may have been a lot of bread to cut, a lot of peppers and cucumbers to slice, and a lot of dishes to wash afterwards but there was also a lot of laughter!

Harbor MOPs is so blessed to have the love and support of Harbor United Methodist Church.  We sold over 100 plates and helped raised funds that will be used to provide scholarships, assist with service projects, and help offset craft and childcare fees. 

If you are not already familiar with MOPs, you should check out the official MOPS website. If you are around the Wilmington, NC area we would love to have you come to one of our meetings and check out our group.

We provide a supportive and encouraging environment for Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPs) with children from birth-kindergarten.  Meetings focus on a love of Christ, a time of fellowship, topics and speakers relevant to moms, service projects, and crafts. We meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month from September - May from 9:30-12.

Love and Logic Discussion

 

If you are not already familiar with Love and Logic, you should really take a moment to check out the website and consider reading one of the books.

 

Pastor Donald agreed to come speak to our MOPs group about Love and Logic. He has been using this book to guide a parenting class at Harbor UMC for a few months now.  Love and Logic focuses on the idea of holding our children accountable for their actions and teaching them responsibility but through a loving and nurturing environment.  Instead of engaging in an argument with a child, parents can learn to use logic to help explain the situation in a meaningful way to the child and help him/her learn from the experience. 

Thank you, Pastor Donald!
