A great year on Planet Mom!

Thank you to everyone who helped make our MOPS year on "Planet Mom" out of this world (I know, corny but I had to say it).

We wished our "graduates" well as they move out of the world of preschool and into the big world of elementary school. We will miss them but hope they came back to visit when they can.

February Meeting - Photos

We had an AWESOME February MOPS meeting!

We snacked on scrumptious food {as always}, listened as Tom Butler shared information from two interesting books (see more information below), and enjoyed the company of some wonderful women!


We hope those of you that weren't able to make it to the meeting this month will join us for on our next meeting on March 12th.

Here is the information for the books Tom referenced:

Emotional 2nd Meeting

Last Friday was our 2nd MOPS meeting of the year and it was definitely an emotional one. Terri Phillips opened the morning with an incredible devotion. She spoke of how God has used this last year, since she was diagnosed with cancer, to draw her closer to Him and depend only on Him. She shared a great letter that a friend sent to her just when she needed it.

This is God. Today I will be handling ALL of your problems for you. I do NOT need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

P.S. And, remember . . .
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do NOT attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

Now, you have a nice day.

God

(I tried to find out who wrote this so I could give them credit, but I didn't have any success)

Leah Hobbs shared her testimony about how God has used her to help other mothers after the loss of an infant. She also shared about International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. The Month of October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Month and a special day has been designated for families who have experienced loss: at 7pm on October 15th babies who have passed will be remembered all around the world by the lighting of candles for one hour in an International Wave of Light.

To close out the meeting Shelby Wolfe and Jennifer Grossman helped us put together "Giving Jars". The jars are meant to be passed on from friend to friend. Each time filling the jar with a treat and a prayer.

Thank you to all who were able to join us last Friday and we look forward to seeing you all again next month.

Awesome 1st Meeting!

We had our 1st MOPS meeting last Friday and it was so wonderful to see all the returning moms from the previous year. Then God blessed us even more with some moms that have joined us for the first time! Welcome

Thanks to everyone on the steering team that worked together to make our first meeting so awesome. All of your hard work paid off. We wouldn't be able to have a meeting at all if it were not for our Moppets Coordinator, Winnie and all her dedicated volunteers that helped take care of our children. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Natasha explained the Planet Mom vision for our MOPS year and Sue Fuller shared an wonderful devotion (her poem is posted HERE).

Meeting Fee - $3
Delicious snacks
Adorable new babies
Seeds for new friendship planted - Priceless

It was the 1st of many great meeting to come this year. If you weren't able to make it to this meeting we would love for you to join us on October 9th!
