Craft Hope Project




The current Craft Hope Project project just happens to line up with our Momtime craft of the month.

Here are the details if you would like to knit/crochet a red scarf for a student who has "aged out" of the foster care system.

If you enjoy all kinds of crafting check back to the Craft Hope site frequently to get involved in their upcoming projects. Some of the projects in the past included-- sock monkeys to a children's burn hospital and small quilts for Children in need.

Back to Normal!


I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years.

This Friday Momtime starts up again. We are going to do another laid back morning. There will be a few moms there teaching knitting to anyone wanting to learn. So bring a skein of yarn if that's you (or a project you're currently working on if you're already a knitting master). Otherwise we have a bunch of new boardgames to try out. Come looking forward to relaxing!

The following Friday we will start a study taken from the ideas in the book Power of a Praying Parent. There won't be any work that has to be done prior to this study... but if you're interested in picking up a copy (or figuring out what you did with the one you have)to go through the chapters as we do-- this is your notice.

Our Mom's Night Out this month will be January 19 from 6:30-8:00 at the Faith Church Youth Building. Polly will be leading us in making freezer meals. Bring $6.00 for class supplies and 4 Ziploc freezer bags. Each mom will go home with 2 -4 easy meals, just add meat at home! RSVP to Bonnie or at momtimeaustin@yahoo.com .

Our Mom's Night Out for February will be the Retreat in St. Ansgar Feb 19-20th. The overnight spots are all filled up, unless you are willing to pay full price. If you want to join us for just Friday Night or just Saturday Morning it's $5 (or $10 for both).
