MOPS and you

Dear Ladies,

Well, it's finally here - school. And for those of us that have pre-schoolers and up that attend one form of school or another - it's bittersweet and convicting. One side of me is so sad that summer is over and that we did not have an adventure of a lifetime this summer (although actually we had one come pretty close). Then there is the other side of me that is very happy that this blessed creature or creatures from above can go away to a safe place and get some instruction rather than hear the word,"No" all day. Not to mention Mommy's sanity may somewhat be restored. In any case, it's here and not much I can do about it but revel I mean live with it.

And so since school is about to start, so is MOPS. Our first meeting is scheduled for Friday September 28, 9:30 am - 12 noon at FBC Covington. You can register now by downloading registration forms (one for you and one for your children) off our website. Send them via snail mail to me or if you see me, say at FBC or WalMart, you can give them to me. We will be putting groups together in the next few weeks so you will hear from your Discussion Group Leader (DGL) about where you and your cherubs will be during the meeting.

Please visit our website at www.covingtonmops.org. (Yes, it used to be .com but since MOPS is www.mops.org, we thought we would follow suit.) and visit MOPS International's website at the aforementioned www.mops.org.

Our theme this year is the Home Factor - Begin Here Go There. It is based on the heart of the HOME is also a picture of God’s desire to interact with us and deeply love us where we really live. He desires to make his home in our hearts. He expresses it this way in the theme verse: "...he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:17

We are in the planning stages of what we will be doing this year but it looks promising to be lots of fun as well as informative and fulfilling. If you have a friend that is a MOPS, have her join as well. If you know of someone who would like to volunteer their time to help with MOPPETS, please forward their name(s) onto info@cobvingtonmops.org.

Got to run. Potty training has all of a sudden taken precedence over this post.

Be blessed.

Love,

Beth

Have a great year with 'The Home Factor'.
With greetings from New Zealand - we're just over halfway through "Fresh Air" as we're just emerging from winter and our school year is from Feb to Dec.
