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.

Hi Steering Team Leaders!
Welcome to our great experiment in using new technology to help you meet every mom's needs to the glory of Jesus Christ. Think of this as your on-line Council Meeting. Feel free to leave your great ideas, anything you need help with, prayer requests and praises. Your Field Leaders will be checking in to help you on in your ministry, encourage you and inspire you.
I know it's summer and most of you are not holding regular meetings, but as a past-co-ordinator I know lots of planning and brainstorming is going on. I am so excited about our new
TWINKLE theme. Are you getting ready to sparkle? Maybe you need some inspiration. Here is a neat ice breaker for your first meeting or a steering get together....
Getting to Know You Star Questions....1. What is one thing that you are a "star" at?2. What is one thing that you were a "star" at (or wanted to be) when you were a kid?3. What is your best "start" meal?4. What is something you want to work to be a "star" at?5. What is your "star" spiritual gift that God has blessed you with?6. What you definitely not a "star" at but enjoy doing?7. Imagine you are a "star" like Oprah; what is one of your favorite things?8. What would your husband say your "star" quality is?9. What would your kids say is the "star" quality they love most about you?10. If there was an article written about the last year of your life with "Star" in the title, what would the headline be?Well, that's all for tonight. Check back often for more....Joyfully His,Barb VogelgesangMOPS Area CoordinatorZone 22 - New Jersey, Delaware and Eastern Pennsylvania

Can anyone share their ideas for getting their steering team excited about this new MOPS year.
Thanks,
Hmmm...Why isn't your steering team excited? We always have so much to do and think about at the beginning of a new year!
Why aren't they excited? We always have so much to do and think about at the beginning of a new year!
We are a new group and just trying to figure out how to plan our MOPS group. It's a little intimating. Some of my team are feeling overwhelmed. Any advice?
