It's almost time....

We had our final steering team meeting and we are so ready to kickoff another amazing year of MOPS! We have some great speakers, crafts and games planned. We have some great table leaders waiting for all of you moms to join their table! I'm so thankful for this group of ladies who serve YOU, the moms of this community and ministry! We are ready to welcome back our moms that have been apart of this group and we are more ready than ever to meet new ladies! If you are looking for somewhere to get to know other moms and to find a place of love and encouragement...we are ready!

I just have this sense of excitement and expectation that God is going to do great things in this ministry this year! I have a new fire and am ready to see what it's all about!

At one of our meetings, Lindsey brought this song to our attention. It is such an encouragement to me and at the same time such a challenge. As I sit and type this and look around my house, I need to go do LOTS of things "to the glory of the Lord" if you know what I mean...dishes, laundry, cleaning, organizing, etc. However, it's all for not if I do it without a joy that only He can give me! So listen to this song and I hope it will encourage and challenge you like it has me!

I can't wait to meet you at MOPS!

Starting Back

I have once again failed to put any updates on here...my apologies! Your steering team has been meeting and we have some great things planned for our upcoming year! I'm really excited about our new leadership and fresh ideas!

We will be starting back on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14! Drop your kiddos off in the nursery and head upstairs. Ashley Bayouth has been working extremely hard on getting our Moppets program coordinated. We have plenty of workers who are ready to love on your children! The 3 older classes will all have a lesson each time. How exciting! I'm so thankful for all the work that Ashley has put into this ministry. We are finally at that point that we could focus on this part of our ministry. For several years we were just trying to keep our head above water and have workers. Thankfully God has blessed us and we can now do more with our Moppetts!

Our fees are going down!! How exciting is that? Last year our fees were $37.50/semester. This year it is only $25/semester! Woo Hoo! We will have some kind of t-shirt that is optional to buy and we should have a price and let you know what it will look like at our first meeting. Last year they were $14, so I would assume no more than that.

I hope you will come check us out. We are a great group of girls. I believe that is using this ministry to help moms get to know others and to let us be used by Him in our homes, churches and communities! I just can't say enough about how much I love this group! We'd love to have you! If you have questions you can e-mail or call me. If you want to come visit, all you have to do is show up! See you soon!

Cooking in the Kitchen

Today we had our cooking day! It was fun! We made chili cheese enchiladas! Yummy! It is so fun to get to come make something and take it home and have a dinner ready to cook!

At the end, we had a question and answer time with Mrs. Monica. It was so good. Lots of fun. Just some basic tips/things that will help us in the kitchen!

Great times. Great friends!

Monkey House Playdate

Sometimes I feel like my house is a Monkey House, but this playdate was not at my house! :)

We met and had a great time with friends!

Lots of playtime!

Fun fellowship!

Sweet girls!

Even pizza and kool aid!

This is such a fun group! We had a great turn out! We will have to do this again!

I really intended to keep up with this blog better...but have failed miserably at it! So sorry!
