MOPSTalk Zone 22 ~ Eastern PA and NJ: Ideas for new theme

CONVENTION UPDATE

Ta da! A Convention announcement!
We just signed the papers and we thank you for your prayers as we worked on moving, well, a whole lotta details in just a few days.

Drum roll #1: The Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, FL (Orlando area) was able to welcome us (in the midst of many conventions needing to move).

Drum roll #2: We're able to keep the registration fees the same, so some of you might decide to come early or stay late, and enjoy the Orlando amenities with your friends (or family).

And thanks for all the great ideas of cities! You helped our future dreaming. 'Twould be fun!
And again, it will be great because of Who we'll be with: "Where(ver) two or three (thousand) are gathered in my name, there am I with them." (Mt. 18:20, our year's theme verse with my additions).

Convention Details:
The MOPS International Convention will be at the Gaylord Palms, Kissimmee, FL (Orlando area). Dates will be the same, August 5-7, 2010. Speakers and artists will be the same great lineup — Julie Barnhill, Margaret Feinberg, Donald Miller, Naomi Cramer Overton, Shelly Radic, Go Fish, Mandisa, The Katinas and Richie McDonald.

Convention registration will re-open on Monday, May 17.
The early bird registration deadline will be extended to June 7.
We are working with the Gaylord Opryland for an official letter we can provide to anyone who has already purchased airline tickets to use with airlines to avoid rebooking fees. This letter should assist you in rebooking airline tickets — it will be posted online at www.MOPS.org/convention.
We continue to pray for families and businesses affected by the flooding and we have sent MOPS materials to local MOPS leaders who are distributing supplies in the Nashville area.

Ideas for new theme

Hi Ladies,

I'm so excited about our theme for new year. Let's start sharing ideas here. The first thought I had was planning meetings around rooms in the house. When I went on the forum someone else had the same idea.....

picturing building each meeting around a room in the house...

Kitchen - once a month cook, quick & simple, kids in the kitchen, hospitality

Family Room - playing/reading with kids, game days, parenting topics. crafts with kids

Bathroom - spa day/pampering day

Bedroom - marriage, communication, romance

Office - home organization

Garage - do-it-yourself projects, carseat safety, emergency preparedness

Backyard - gardening, herb gardens, kids' games

Front porch - perspective, being a good neighbor, being still before God...

Some one else suggested a house tour of the steering teams houses as a fund raiser. I like the idea of home is where we is where we prepare our families so they can launch out into the world confidently. Home is also the safe haven where we can all come back to refresh, renew and rejuvinate.

I can't wait to hear what all of the creative leaders in Zone 22 do with this team and how God uses it to reach moms for Jesus.
