Kick-Off Picnic Next Week!

The Kick-Off Picnic is only one week away!

Tuesday, August 20th

Come meet new moms and catch up with returning moms while the kids play and enjoy a cool treat!

Since the Kick-off picnic is only a week away I thought it would be fun to do a little flashback!

See you next week!

Steering Retreat

Before Steering Team attended convention, we got away together for 2 days to cover details of our MOPS year.

(The never ending bowl of peanuty chocolate treats!)

We discussed each position thoroughly, as well as our themes for each month, and what speakers and crafts we should have.  There were also many 'behind the scenes' items that needed to be discussed.

(The Steering Team's Traveling Trophy - to tie in with our 'Plunge' theme for this year.)

We worked and worked for 6 hours straight!  We want to guarantee a fabulous year for our MOPS group!

Then it was time for some fun bonding time. :)

This was a great Steering Team Retreat,

filled with tons of laughter and memories.

Being on the MOPS Steering Team is very time consuming and is a volunteer position.  

It is, however, extremely rewarding and helps MOPS grow as friends, mothers, and leaders.  

Steering positions are invitation only and are carefully and prayerfully considered by the Coordinators and Mentor Mom.

If you are asked to consider MOPS Leadership in the future, please prayerfully consider accepting the offer.

You will NOT want to miss this rewarding experience.

MOPS Convention 2012

 The Steering Team had the privilege of attending the MOPS Convention in Grapevine, TX last weekend.

To say it was life changing is an understatement.

Each mom was touched emotionally and spiritually in a unique and special way.

 

We are back and rejuvenated as mothers, wives, and leaders.

And we cannot wait to Plunge into MOPS this year!

We stayed at the beautiful Gaylord Resort and Hotel

And we had a blast!

We had a chance to get to know each other better.

And it was an unforgettable weekend.

F.S. (aka 'The Baby Whisperer)was found by the babes.

We even made some new friends! :)

We got to attend the "Mom Prom"

Worship with Christi Knockles

Listen to Lisa Harper speak.

Attend a concert by Plumb.

And Matthew West

There were thousands of MOPS in attendance.

We also got to shop at the MOPS resource fair...they were also giving away free items, like these band-aids with Bible verses on them!

A.D. won a prize from a book vendor at the Resource fair.



In one of our General Sessions, each row of MOPS packed a goodie box for Operation Christmas Child.  We prayed over the box, and it was filled to the brim with items for children in a country who doesn't know the love of Jesus.

 

Did you miss Convention? 
Don't worry, your chance to attend is coming October 17-19, 2013 when the MOPS Convention comes to our very own Kansas City!!!!!

 

You will NOT want to miss this opportunity!  Not only is it in our home town but one of the guest speakers will be Beth Moore!

As a Steering Team we are plotting and planning to attend.  We hope you will consider joining us for a life-changing, blessed weekend!
