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.

What's happening at your MOPS Group this year?

Ah, the start of a new MOPS year...or is it really? As Steering Team Leaders you've probably been doing MOPS or at least thinking about MOPS all summer. Here's a partial new year prep checklist....

Be sure to register all your moms for the MOPS to MOM connection
Update your Steering Team with MOPS International
Create a schedule of meeting for the year
Have some great girlfriend time
Pack for Convention


What would you add to my list? Can you share your favorite twinkle ideas with other Steering Teams by clicking on comments? You don't have to register, but I would appreciate knowing which group you are with. What topics, speakers, crafts, special MOPS/POPS, MOPPETS crafts, hospitality gifts etc. can you brag about or suggest?

Let's help out our new groups by spreading the creativity around.

Love ya,

Recruiting MOPPETS helpers

Hi Leaders,

One of the biggest challenges I have faced in my MOPS groups is recruiting MOPPETS helpers. Sometimes we need to change the way we ask for help. I've used the flyer below with different churches and it brought fruit. We need to present MOPPETS as the ministry opportunity it truly is. Where else can local men and women be missionaries without leaving home. The love, care and message of Christ will be forming how these young children will view the church. I am praying that you will be blessed to have a fully staffed MOPPETS program for this coming year.

Please share your success at recruit MOPPETS workers with us by clicking on comments. You don't need to log-in, you can leave your idea as an anonymous user. For our purposes, please let us know which MOPS group you are from.

Blessings,
Joyfully,
