Thank you for attending the MOPS International Leadership Summit 2008. This training event was made possible by the use of advanced satellite communication tools. Using these communication tools make it possible to provide cost effective training for more MOPS leaders. However, occasionally technical equipment failures are still known to happen in today’s technological environment. An equipment failure during the Summit broadcast caused a 3-minute audio outage for many Summit locations. MOPS International understands the frustration this caused when trying to participate fully during Liz Selzer’s teaching.
We have made Liz’s scripting available for download at your leisure. Please take advantage of these valuable teaching notes. Click here to download.
Sincerely,

MOPS Summit Set for Saturday, April 25, 2009
Hello!
Now that we have wrapped up our 2008 MOPS Leadership for Life Summit, MOPS International has announced that next year's Summit is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2009. Now is the perfect time to discuss attending this wonderful training event with your whole Steering Team. Make sure you and everyone on your Steering Team marks their calendar.
Where is it going to be you ask? Great question. This year our Zone, Zone 22, had 3 Summit locations: Doylestown, Sayre, and Chambersburg. Right now, we have no sites for next year's Summit. What was that? You think you and your Steering Team may want to host next year's Summit. (So glad that you asked!) Well, in order to host the Summit you must have a CCN (Church Communication Network) subscription, have had one in the past and still have the equipment in working order, or be willing to purchase a subscription at a reduced rate (more details can be obtained by contacting Kay Kissinger (she's our Zone Event Coordinator (ZEC) at kdkissinger@verizon.net). We are actively looking for sites in our zone. More information can be obtained by contacting Kay.

MOPS Leadership for Life Summit
Hi Everyone!
It was so wonderful to see those of you who made it to the MOPS Leadership for Life Summit this past Saturday, April 12th at the Doylestown location. A special shout-out to the mom who drove 6 hours to attend! Amazing! I am sure each and every one of the moms who attended has a story to tell of how she was able to get there. After all, we left our children/family & obligations for the day and that is not always an easy thing to do. Also, a special shout out to all those who attended at our Zones other two sites: one in Sayre and one in Chambersburg. We did miss those of you who were unable to attend and I thought maybe, if anyone is willing, we could share our experiences with our whole Zone.
Please, if you attended, share with us what you learned from the Workshop, the Simulcast, and the Positionals. For instance on the Values for Life Workshop ~ How many attendees have filled out their weekly schedule and attempted to match their time with their values? Please share your stories with us...we want to hear them!
There was a glitch during the Simulcast where we lost the sound during Liz Selzer's talk on Take Time Back: In Your Ministry. MOPS International will have the talk available and we may be able to post it here on our blog in the next couple of days. If anyone has any other questions or comments on any of the talks during the Simulcast, I think this is the perfect place to discuss it.
Please share all your questions, comments, and ideas with us. We want to hear from you!!
I also thought that the Positionals were informative. I attended the Coordinators' Positional. Everyone had some really great ideas to share. I believe we all agreed that the number one thing to do when you are feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, burned out, and ready to throw in the towel is to PRAY! Learning to rely on God when things aren't going our way is the BEST way to go. I thought it would be good if we could share practical ideas that were discussed during each of the positionals so that no one has to reinvent the wheel. PLEASE share!
Finally, it would be great to see some pictures. If you or someone in your group took pictures, let's see them.
REMEMBER, MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ, and that includes you too!
God Bless,
