What an AWESOME first meeting! It was so refreshing, was it not?? A BIG BIG Thank you to everyone involved on our steering team and to our new leader Rachel W.! I think she spoke with extra grace today. First time meetings are bound to have their quirks, but I really do think our meeting was blessed today. I think the Lord is really going to bring us all together this year.
The Sister tables were a BIG success and it's exciting meeting so many more faces than just the few we have at our set tables. I'm excited to see our relationships blossom into what God will have them grow into. MOPS is all about lifting each other up... a place where we can come to laugh, to cry, to chat, to learn, most of all, to form new and lasting relationships!
A few preliminary notes from today's meeting:
CHILDCARE: If you child has a food allergy of any kind, at the next meeting please pick up a bright yellow allergy sticker for them to wear.
-Brochures about Moppetts are available at the front desk of kids cove
-ages 3, 4, and 5's will be doing a little lesson and will have outside play time during MOPS. Please bring weather appropriate wear for your child.
- PLEASE LABEL ALL ITEMS! Diaper bags and sippy cups in particular.
-MOPS is a great place to come and chat. We dismiss at precisely at 11:30. PLEASE Pick up your children FIRST before finishing conversations. Let's be fair to our child care workers and let them go home on time as well
-PLEASE follow the same rules with MOPS as you do with schools and day cares. If they are sick, please don't share that with other kids or moms. Please do everyone a favor and stay home. We will miss you, but we will see you at the next meeting
Can you just imagine new comers, coming to this blog seeing this picture? HA haah... it's funny thinking about what they would think of MOPS. We participated in a fun ice breaker today and THIS was the main prize for each table and I was the lucky winner at our table! I feel very priviledged ladies. For anyone just visiting, the theme this year is Plunge! 
Love the pic!
ReplyDeleteNow -did you try to use that plunger? We did . . . I now know why the Dollar Tree donated a ton of them to the food pantry. They don't work (And trust me - with 5 kids - we use plungers almost every day it seems!).
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a conversation starter as I walked out carrying a decorated plunger. :)
