February 13th Meeting

What a wonderful meeting! Thank you Savannah and Kay for leading the devotional! We enjoyed watching Mark Gungor's Laugh Your Way To a Better Marriage today. It helped facilitate some great group discussions!

Our Steering Team is looking for someone to co-lead the hospitality position with Jamie. We are also looking for a Speaker coordinator and volunteers to lead devotionals at our meetings. Please contact Renee Graham if you feel led to help in these positions. We are also going to have an end of the year picnic in May. If you would like to help plan this event please contact Renee. Also, First Baptist Church is looking for a childcare champion. Please contact the church office if you're interested.

Here are our upcoming MOPS Playdates:
Tues, Feb 21st 9:30 am: Country Club Park
Friday, Feb 24th at 6:30pm: Unplugged at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant (Evites will be sent out)
Hope you can join us!

Please let Renee Graham know about your interest in Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage so she can arrange dates and childcare. Also, let Renee know if you are interested in participating in a Creative Correction Bible study at her place on Thursdays (we'll plan to begin in March) so she can get study guides.

We will be having a Queen of the Day at each meeting. Queen for the Day can be awarded to any MOPS mom who has accomplished something- potty training their child, going above and beyond for a friend, etc. It's a way for us to celebrate each other's accomplishments, big or small. Please send nominations to Renee. We will also have a Dish of the Day at each meeting. We will vote for our favorite dish and the winner will get a door prize. Also, please bring a copy of your recipe when you bring a breakfast dish. We would like to compile a MOPS recipe book full of great recipes!

Ready to clean out those closets, make some extra cash, and help support our MOPS group? Our Two-Day Consignment Sale is on Friday, March 2nd from 3-7 pm and Saturday, March 3rd from 7-1 pm! Set up will be the day before on March 1st from 4-8 pm. When you drop off your items on Thursday, please have all clothes on hangers and all items must be tagged with prices and ID numbers. All items will be donated at the end of the sale on Saturday unless you pick it up by 1 pm. Please sign up to volunteer during set up and during the sale. We greatly appreciate your support and participation! We will have hangers that you may take at our next MOPS meeting. We need to borrow a money box if anyone has one. Our consignment sale is a combined sale with Thunder Mountain MOPS. Thank you!
