What a busy day! It was our first MOPS meeting of the year.

The Steering Team had prayed and planned for that day for so long. How

exciting to finally be in the moment. My biggest prayer was that every

mom that came would have a spot. After Neil & Gary brought in a few more

chairs, we all fit! Praise the Lord!

This was one of our biggest turnouts in the history of MOPS (14 years at

EBC)! So if you were new and everything seemed a bit chaotic, please

don't despair! Things will have calmed down by the next meeting. We'll

have you at your table with a name-tag and ready to go! Thanks all for

patiently filling out your forms and waiting to register--thanks Kelly,

you did a great job moving the masses. :)

Did you hear we had 81 kids? Sandy, you're an incredible organizer;

thank you for making MOPPETS a safe fun place for our children. If you

know of anyone would might be able to help, please contact Sandy. Our

workers had their hands full!

So many exciting moments--the skit. Ahh, how can we forget the skit.

Jill, it was great! So funny! Even for me, and I'm still dusting flour

off my shorts. Kelleigh, the newsletter looked fantastic. I can't wait

to see how it gets utilized this year. Jacqui, sorry for cutting out

your Discussion Group time. At our next meeting we'll be sure to keep

time for sharing. This is where relationships and friendships can be

cultivated. Carole, thank you for sharing about "Fresh Air." We want

every mom at MOPS this year to be able to come to the meetings and get a

nice deep breath of it!

And how about that spa? Wasn't it delightful! Did you get your feet

soaked and scrubbed and buttered up? That grapefruit smell was so

delicious! Alysun, the "Spa Kit" came together so nicely. It will make

a nice gift or a quiet moment for many moms. Make sure you take

advantage of all the wonderful products available to help you feel your

best!

We've got more in store for you, mom. So please come again in two weeks.

We'll be taking a look at "The Perfect Woman." Hmmm...is she even

possible? Come to find out or read Proverbs 31 for a sneak preview.
