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.

As you know, our theme verse for this MOPS year is "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ..." ~Eph 3:18. This verse is very near and dear to my heart, as it is one of the first verses I ever memorized. It has been an inspiration to me for over 20 years. I've tried to adjust my life to look more like the love of Christ as a result of this verse. When I first found out it was the theme verse for this MOPS year, I was very excited because I knew I would experience new "adventures" in loving like Christ. I began to pray that I would be open, ready, and willing. Well, who knew one of the new "adventures" would be adding to the MOPS Zone 22 blog site! This post is only the second time I've EVER added to a blog site. I know some of you have just fallen off your seats with that information. I pride myself on having a strong understanding of the technology that is vital to "my life". The rest, I am comfortable to leave on the side of the road. However, as I search my heart wide and long and high and deep, I come up with how important this blog site is for all of us in this Zone to share information with one another. I love being stretched beyond what's important for "my life" for Zone 22. This is just the beginning...Where do you need to go beyond this MOPS year? Post your beyond experiences.Blessings to you all,Nichole BethelArea CoordinatorZone 22: Eastern PA and NJ
