You're Never "Just a MOM"!
Wow! What a way to start a new MOPS year!!! Our first meeting we welcomed 60 ladies, 19 of which were new to MOPS. It was so nice to see familiar faces as well as so many new ones. This years theme is "Momology- the Art and Science of Mothering". The tables were decorated with artist palettes, beakers with flowers and easels displaying the name of each table.
As always we had some wonderful food to share and started off our meeting with some helpful information for the year ahead and a skit. As mom's we wear many hats such as chauffeuring around our kids, to nursing boo boo's, to teachers teaching our kids the way. The skit showed us how much we really do as moms on a day to day basis and gave us a way to find humor in it all.
Since it was the first meeting to kick off the new MOPS year we played "Speed Friending". Each table had a list of questions to ask of each of the ladies at their table. Once the bell rang we had to move to another table to meet another group of ladies and ask the same questions. What a great time we had learning new information about our friends old and new.
For the art project we received a new box of crayons just as some of our children did on their first day of school. We were able to doodle like kids. It was so fun to see everyone getting creative.
Next MOPS will be September 24th. As always we will meet at Hillcrest Baptist Fellowship Hall from 9-11:30. Child Care will be provided by a loving staff on site. Hope to see you there!
