Fall Wreaths

I should have taken a picture, but I didn't! I have to get better about taking my camera to our meetings. We had a blast though making fall wreaths! I really like mine (even if it isn't professional), it is hanging on my front door!!

We are off to a fun start for sure to our new MOPS year! I look forward to so much more! God is using this ministry and we'd love for you to be part of it. We have had 13 new moms come and visit and many came back! I hope that means we are loving like Jesus would!

Our next meeting will be Oct. 14th! We will be learning about self defense. It should be very informative as well as entertaining I'm sure! We'd love to see you there!

What a blessing!

I was blessed today at MOPS! I loved meeting new moms that visited our group! My prayer is that everyone felt welcome and that they felt included. We want our group to be like a family and my prayer is that is how you feel if you visit our group!

I was blessed by the encouragement and reminder that Mrs. Harriett gave us on making memories with our children! I want to make the right memories with my children and I need to be consious of that everyday! Thank you Mrs. Harriett!

The leaders in our group (Steering Team) did an amazing job of pulling all the details together! What a blessing you girls are to me! I appreciate you!

I hope if you are thinking about coming to MOPS that you will come and visit--Sept. 23, 9:00 at the EDGE Building!

Psalm 144:1-2

"Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me."

To say this spoke to me this morning would be an understatement! Bit by bit here is my thoughts as I read:

Praise be to the Lord my Rock: I need something strong to hold onto right now in my life
Who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle: I feel like I've been at "war" with my girls, or that they have been at "war" with eachother therefore I have to be in the middle of it.
...in whom I take refuge: I need to "hide in the cleft of the rock" this morning for sure and just sit there
who subdues peoples under me: As I read this, I'm sure David wasn't referring to my children who are "under me" (my authority) but I had to read it this way this morning. I needed them to be subdued! They actually have not been, but I have gone back to this verse a few times this morning, thinking that the Lord is my Rock!

I'm so excited about MOPS starting! It is so neat to be part of a group where we "get" eachother and all that is going on in eachother's lives!

We have ordered t-shirts! They are going to be super cute! They will be $10 (I think!), so bring your money to get one at our first meeting!

PRAISE THE LORD we have Mopett workers! We don't have "extras" if someone can't come to work, but we are not struggling to find people this year! What a blessing! I'm so thankful God has once again provided these precious volunteers for us!

I look forward to seeing all of you again! Bring a friend! We love to have new people join us!

It is almost time....

I don't know who reads this?!? Anyone??!!?

We have been meeting as a Steering Team and getting some great and exciting things planned for our upcoming year! I'm so excited about the things that are working out and that God has put on our hearts to share!

Katie has been hard at work getting things ready for registration. You should be getting a letter in the mail if you were a member of our group last year. I hope you find some helpful information on there!

Look for us (MOPS, not me!) on the billboard on Hwy. 10 as you come into Greenwood! We will be there in September! Yeah!! I'm hoping this will help us reach out to Greenwood and more moms will join us!

Our fees this year are staying the same, $5/meeting. That is just to join our group. That is not your MOPS Int'l fees. Those fees are $23.95 for the year. This includes: momsense magazine, mom e-mail from MOPS Int'l., the theme book for this year. We are going to prorate our fees because there are more meetings in the spring. Therefore, our fees will be $40/each semeseter. If you need to split that into 2 payments, that is an option. Also, if you need or know someone that would come on a scholarship, that is also available. Simply send me an e-mail or let me know! We never want a mom to not come because of money.

I hope you are excited about coming to MOPS. We will be having some speakers come back that were highly ranked on our surveys as well as some fun new ones! We have some fun crafts and games as well!

If you are just checking us out, we are thrilled that you found us. We hope that you will join us and check us out! Your first meeting with us is ALWAYS FREE!! No obligations!

Snow/Ice Info

Just in case someone checks this...we will not be meeting if Greenwood is out of school tomorrow, January 28th. I'm praying that this weather will not be as they predict so we can have our meeting!

Here we go again!

We had such a fun meeting today! I loved it. We heard great encouragement from Mrs. Harriett. She is sharing with us how to be a Proverbs 31 woman in every area of our lives!! What great wisdom and encouraement she brings to us!!

We had fun making our craft (pictures coming soon)!! Julie has done great at coming up with some good ideas and some new ideas that we haven't done before!

Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 28th!! We will get great tips on coupon shopping from our own coupon savvy moms, Erin and Tamara!! I'm so excited!

We'd love to have you join us!
