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!!
