We had a few new moms today at our meeting! What a blessing! We love to be able to minister and fellowship with other moms. This ministry is a blessing to me to be able to serve other moms as well as be served by them with the stories and fellowship that we bring! I look forward to getting to know everyone better!
Our next meeting will be on Dec. 10th! We will be making Christmas wreaths! Yeah! Cynthia McCutcheon is going to be teaching us the ins and outs of bow making and wreath decorating! Who couldn't use another Christmas wreath either for yourself or as a gift! We are asking each mom to bring their own spool of ribbon to decorate your wreath. We will provide everything else!
I can't believe our semester is already coming to an end! It has been a fun time so far. I feel like we've only just begun. Next semester there are more meetings, so we have it packed full of great speakers, fun games, great crafts and LOTS of fellowship!
If you are new to Greenwood, we'd love for you to come check us out!

Great Start!
Our year is off to a fantastic start if you ask me! I'm so excited about how God is blessing our group! We had 19 ladies at our first meeting and 23 at our second! I know there are more that God is going to bring to this ministry as well! So much fun to be part of where God is working!
Our first meeting was just to get to know your table leader and other ladies at our tables.
Our second meeting we featured Julie Jones, one of our own MOPS moms! She gave us excellent tips and ideas for cleaning our house in a way that it is not so overwhelming! She helped us organize a binder for keeping track of all of our "house" things we as moms and/or wives have to do!
One of the best examples I've ever heard about being a mom/wife was one that Julie shared with us: "Sometimes I feel like glue. As the woman of the house I am what seems to hold us together. There are times I don't want to be glue!" (I'm sure I did NOT quote her exactly, but that is the gist of it.) I thought that was so great and said exactly what we feel like as moms and wives sometimes! Being the glue can be tiresome, but don't give up!

Update
Last night and this morning, we had a display table set up at FBC Greenwood for the Beth Moore simulcast. We got to meet several potential moms that are considering joining us! If you are one of those moms, we hope you will check us out! We look forward to meeting you!
Also, if you are on here just checking us out and are not a mother of a preschooler, you can still be apart of our ministry! We are looking for volunteer care givers for our Moppets (children) of the MOPS moms! You do not have to teach a lesson or prepare anything. We just need ladies who are willing and ready to serve Jesus by loving on our kiddos for a couple of hours twice a month!
If you would like more information or I can help in anyway, please e-mail me: sescogin@hotmial.com!

Also look for our table at National Night Out on the square Tuesday, August 5th! Come stop by our display table--and pick up some candy!

A Good Looking Army!
For those of you moms who have younger children and didn't see the "show" today, I thought I'd post a few pictures. Here they are getting ready. Their teachers, Susie Butler and Nancy Dobson, did all of the work for this and deserve all the applause for teaching our children about the aromor of God! This was precious to watch and listen to them sing and talk about what each part of the armor did...or at least her Mrs. Nancy say what each part was! :)
Here they are holding up their swords!
I just could not resist putting this soldier on here. He looks ready to fight in the name of the Lord for sure! He just looked so adorable, every one did, but as I was going through all the pictures, this one stood out!
