We love having brother Ronnie come speak for our Christmas meeting. We are always loved by Jesus!

We played a game where you had to divide up into different categories. It was neat seeing what you had in common with other moms....

Great job on the game Jessica! You are so fun!

Don't forget about the Christmas party this Sunday at 3 at Leslie White's house!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM'S!!!!!

Spa day!

Yesterday Rebecca Campora shared a little bit about her testimony. Rebecca your husband was a true hero! You are amazing & I know he would be so proud of you!

She also shared some of her beauty supplies. We had a spa day and we had fun with it. I loved that she shared the importance of having a quiet time and how she has grown in Christ by having one. I also loved that she had us do a relaxation time with some supplies on and we had our own time with the Lord.

Thank you so much Rebecca!

1st Meeting of 2014-'15

We had a great 1st meeting back at MOPS!

Some of the steering team got together & decorated it so cute!

Our MOPS leader Ashley & our mentor mom Jacque...

We had 42 women today! AMAZING!! As always we enjoyed a great, childless, brunch with great fellowship.

Jacque spoke on friendship. She shared the importance of pursuing friends and not always expecting them to come to you. She gave a great analogy using the ingredients of chocolate chip cookies.

We played a game similar to speed dating which was a great way to meet some of the moms that you didn't know... We would each answer a question that was asked and that lead to other discussions.

Chocolate Chip Cookies of Friendship...

Shortening- it adds volume to your friendship

Sugar- adds sweetness to our lives

Egg- bonds you together

Vanilla- adds flavor 

Flour- adds substance (we need something solid)

Baking Soda- levens or lightens the load (lightens our burdens)

Salt- adds flavor

Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Nuts- They are optional but don't we all need them! :)

As amazing as it is to have that go-to person, remember that Christ should be the one we 1st go to.

Here is your MOPS steering team! 

Hope you all enjoyed it & we will see you in two weeks!!
