5th Wednesday

Today was a leisurely day for our MOPS meeting. Not to much planned since it was basically a "free day". We only get about one 5th Wednesday per semester, so we use it to catch up or finish up crafts that were started. We personalized coffee mugs today. They will be used for our coffee or other drinks and also serve as our name card for our table at meetings. Some of the mugs were very cute and so individualistic. The cups really showcased the moms personalities. All so very different. Also we had two new moms visit today, Jessica and Shalissa. Our Secret Sisters exchanged gifts and three of our MOPS moms had birthdays this week, Shelly's was today and Kathy's is tomorrow and Tonya's was on Saturday. Happy Birthday girls. Next MOPS meeting is Wednesday, October 7th at 9:30 am. Hope to see everyone there.

Luau and Limbo

This Wednesday night was MOPS's turn to serve dinner for our fellowship dinner at Harbor. It is a gift of service that we try to do at least once a semester to show appreciation for letting us use the facility for our MOPS Meetings. The helpers tonight were, Tonya, Amy, Shelly, Debra, Kathy, Melissa, Tobi, Jennifer, Dee, Leslie, and Debbie and Sue, our mentor moms, who also helped us with the kids and also me. Thanks to everyone who came out early to set up and also for all of you who brought wonderful desserts to share. What a fun night. We had tons of decorations and even luau music playing in the background. There were also candles on the tables along with pink tablecloths, palm tree sprinkles and sea shells. Thanks again Ladies, it was a grand night.

MOPS Meeting with a Mission

Wednesday was our second MOPS meeting of the semester. We had a wonderful speaker from Harbor, Ms. Evelyn Fitzgerald, who spoke of her mission trip to Africa this summer. I think it made most of the moms feel very blessed and fortunate for the many, many blessings the Lord has bestowed on us. Also our Mentor Mom, Ms. Debbie delivered a great devotion about our prayer life, with reminder notes to take home to remember to pray daily.

First Meeting of Fall 2009

Today was our first meeting for Fall Semester. We had a great turnout, about 20 ladies came with a couple of new moms. We were missing about 3 regulars, who we hope will be back soon. The Steering Team provided an excellent brunch and we played a very fun get-to-know-you ice breaker. Can't wait for the next meeting. Our bond in fellowship with Jesus means so much to us.
