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.

Dear Ladies,
I have been dealing with some medical issues for a while now, limping as your leader with our wonderful Zone 22 Field Leaders keeping MOPS in Zone 22 going strong. After much prayer, tears and finally peace I have realized it was time to step down as your Area Coordinator and pass on the mantle of leadership. I have been honored and blessed to be your partner in this amazing ministry for 5 years at my local groups, and 9 years as a Field Leader. You have all blessed me as I stood beside you and watched how so many gifted women encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.
I am thrilled to pass on the role of Area Coordinator for MOPS Zone 22 to Nichole Bethel. She has been a dynamic and dedicated member of your Field Leader Team and is excited to be leading you into this new MOPS adventure. Please welcome her and support her as she seeks to serve you in the name of Christ.
Blessings,
Barb Vogelgesang
