Oh, What a Meeting!

What a great meeting we had today. It was so awesome to be back at MOPS and it was so nice to see everyone! I would like to personally welcome on the new Moms we had today too! Our Mentor Mom, Tonya Sullivan's speech came very close to my own heart and I doubt that I will ever look at a stone the same. Thank you for your inspiration Tonya. I must admit the Creative Activities usually get the best of me, but this one I rate with an A+

Yah.....It's MOPS Time!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I can't believe that it is 2010 already - seriously, where does the time go? I don't know about you, but one of things I missed most during the holidays was my MOPS meetings. Tomorrow, January 14th is our first meeting of 2010 and you won't want to miss it! We are going to kick this year off and make a new goal that the meetings will be starting at 9am sharp! We will be having a devotion by our Mentor Mom, Tonya Sullivan and also be doing a creative activity. Remember that your fees are due this meeting - if you have any questions regarding your dues please check with your DGL. Looking forward to seeing you!

A Prayer For The New Year

Come, Holy Spirit,
Spirit of the Risen Christ,
Be with us today and always.
Be our Light, our Guide,
And our Comforter.
Be our Strength, our Courage,
And our Sanctifier.

May this new year be a time
Of deep spiritual growth for us,
A time of welcoming
Your graces and gifts,
A time for forgiving freely
And unconditionally,
A time for growing
In virtue and goodness.

Come, Holy Spirit,
Be with us today and always.
Amen.
