{Generic vs. Name Brand Formula}

All generic formulas must meet the same strict safety, nutrition, and manufacturing guidelines as the priciest products on the market. So, no, they're not less nutritious.The reason they're less expensive is that the manufacturers of generic formula don't spend millions of dollars on research or on marketing, and they don't give away free samples the way some other formula companies do. They simply sell a product that meets the standards set by the United States Food and Drug Administration.Interestingly, Wyeth Nutrition, a division of an enormous pharmaceutical company, makes the majority of "generic" or store-brand formulas on the market. Before moving in to the generic category, Wyeth Nutrition marketed their own brand-name formula, SMA.

{Tidbits of information}

Today MOPS begins! I am sure all of you moms are looking forward to a time of refreshing fellowship. I have said a prayer for you this morning. There is room for you. . . come next time if you weren't able to make it today.

Crafty Critters ~ Tonight we will be talking about how God made the food we eat. We are very thankful for our food. We will be coloring yellow bananas, red apples, and purple grapes. It will be fun!

Wellness Policy ~ I sent a letter to Dr. White yesterday asking if he would review our policy. I want to make sure we don't need to ad or take away any of our guidelines. During the winter months please be extra sensitive to how your child feels. Please keep them at home for rest if they have been under the weather. We will continue to provide a safe and healthy nursery.

Nursery Schedule ~ You help is very much needed and appreciated. Please continue to trade or call me if you are unable to serve your scheduled time. Do your best not to "no show". . .

Look forward to seeing you tonight!

God's creation is amazing!

The Little Hobbs loved the water!

I wont be at church on Sunday, but I sure will be thinking of you all.
Please pray for our safe travel.
I will pray that all goes well at church.
Mrs Gina will help with check-on @ 9:15.
Your child's sticker should reflect their correct class.

{Find Joy in the Nursery this Fall}

The "Fall Schedule" goes in the mail today. You will receive a Master copy, and the week of your service time you will receive a reminder postcard.

If you are not currently on the schedule, and would like to be, please let me know. We like to ad all parents to our monthly rotation. We all work together, and it is wonderful.

New Names.

New Faces.

We are glad to have your child. . . and you!

Please remember to do your best to trade with another volunteer if you are unable to serve your assigned Sunday. You may call the church office for phone numbers (479) 996-2166.

If that is unsuccessful, call me (479) 719-5488. Don't worry. I am always nice when you call me. LOL! Please leave me a message if I don't answer.

Please do not "no show". I like a house full of kids AND help with them!!

Love, Tonia

I appreciate all of you. Please let me know if any of you ever need anything. I am here.
