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.

Here is a picture of the MOPS leaders who attended Summit at Willowdale Chapel in Kennett Square, PA. We had a blessed time together learning how to lead authentically.
If you attended Summit, please share your greatest take home message or what impacted you most. For me, I loved what Margaret Feinberg shared about combining the public me and the private me into one and trusting God with taking the risk of being that authentic. YIKES...it was a very compelling challenge. I try to live authentically, but that would really be a leap of faith to walk around like an orange with its skin peeled off for all to see my impurities. I'm going to put forth a great effort to live this authentically because I realized people will determine what my impurities are whether I display them or not. I trust I will encounter Jesus on a deeper level...that enough is worth it for me. What about you?
Blessings,
Nichole, your AC
