It's Been a Long Time....

Yikes! I haven't posted a single thing since I've been the Coordinator. Tsk. Tsk. :)

With this in mind, I'll start by providing an update on what's been happening this year:

Our fall semester is always a short one due to the holidays, but we made good use of our time together with interesting speakers (Spiritual Gifts, Once-A-Month Cooking, Secrets to a Stress-Free Life/Nutrition) and a new format. We brought back our devotional and spend quality time each week discussing our spiritual lives with each other. I've really enjoyed getting to know fellow MOPS moms in a more personal way, not to mention all the practical advice I've collected, as a result.

In addition to our regular speakers, we had our first Day of Service where we gave a little back to our community. This year we chose to support KidsLink Downrange, a MOPS sponsored charity that provides holiday card packages to military children with parent(s) stationed overseas. We had a fun time creating cards and preparing the packages.

Next semester will be here before we know it, so please put our meeting dates in your calendar. They will be posted soon on the right.

As usual, if you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please email us at mopslakeview@hotmail.com. I've made a goal to post more frequently, so visit us again soon!

MOPS is out for Summer

Hey everyone,
I know I haven't posted in a while..life has been busy. MOPS Lakeview is on break for the summer! We'll join back in September for our regular meetings.
In the mean time, we'll have a playdate the last Thursday of each month June-August. Be on the lookout for details!
Thanks & God bless!

Children & Nutrition - 2/11

Good day, ladies!

I hope everyone was prepared for all the snow we recieved last night. I must admit it's nice to look out my window and see a pretty, white world.

Just wanted to let you know that we have MOPS this Thursday! We have a guest speaker joining us from Swedish Covenant Hospital. One of their professional dieticians will be coming to speak with us about Children & Nutrition - and I'm sure several key items about nutrition for us moms as well.

I'm looking forward to hearing what she has to say on the topic.

That's it for now. We'll see everyone Thursday morning. God bless and have a great day!

Welcome to the New Year!

Welcome to 2010 and a new semester at MOPS!

We begin our regular meetings this Thursday, Jan. 14th. Same place, same time. (New Life Lakeview @ 9:30am)

This week we have Justin (one of our fabulous mommas) speaking to us on organizing all the paper clutter we have around our homes. I definately need to hear this topic.

I hope everyone had a fantastic holidays. We've missed seeing everyone. (I can't believe it's been over a month since our last MOPS meeting!)

Stay warm, stay healthy, and God bless you!
