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.

Moms of School-Age Kids Group Needs a Name

Moms of School-age Kids. What should we be called?

MOPS International has received tremendous interest in our new groups for moms of school-age kids. Leaders and moms are excited about this ministry and we are chartering new groups. We initially launched this program under the name “momfluence” after having done due diligence on that name and extensive legal work. We since learned of usage of that name and we have decided to select a new name.



Share your best ideas for a new name today!

Inspirational MOPS Group Video

Hi, I am so excited about this video that I just had to share it with all of you. Tracy Snyder, Coordinator Ebenezer Bible Fellowship MOPS Group in Bethlehem (my MOPS Group), put together this year-end video of our MOPS Group. When she sent it to me...I was inspired! I asked her if it was ok to post to our Zone blog and she gave me permission. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Remember as you wrap up your MOPS year that 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.





Thank you for all you do,
Christy
