MOPS Meeting: August 29, 2011

During our meeting this Monday, we had a great time decorating MOPS mugs and mingling with a get-to-know-you game. Thank you Shannon for organizing all the fun activities! We also appreciate Christina for the encouraging devotion this morning. Also, thank you Candy Land Chicks for the yummy breakfast!
