Testimony and Tea at MOPS

What a wonderful morning for our Spring Tea and Testimony meeting on May 3rd, 2008. Even though it was rainy and cold outside, we were warmed up by the spring-like decor in the room. The table leaders were amazing with their table decorating for the day, tea pots included. The agendas and name plates were printed on a floral stationary. We had a full morning of fellowship at the tables as everyone enjoyed the delicious snacks and beverages. We moved into the sharing time with Miki as our guest speaker, who shared on "The Joys of Motherhood".


Every word spoken came from her heart and God used her powerful message to touch every mother's heart there. Marion and Amberlyn also shared the joy of their relationship with Christ and the impact it has on their life and their families. Lives were changed as each mother was given the opportunity to commit their life to christ and many did just that. What a memorable meeting we had as we prepare to close out our first year of Orting MOPS!

Mops Meeting (4-26-08)

Surprise! It is Coordinator Appreciation Day! We were able to pull off a surprise for Suzanne to shower her with love and gratitude for all the months of hard work she has taken on to make Orting Mops a reality. Heidi Maschhoff and Heidi Bekken were a hit on the stage as Suzanne and Nathan, with a plastic baby playing the part of Will! The skit involved phone calls from: mom, speaker, cornerstone owner, table leader and finance leader letting Suzanne know there was some new things she needed to be aware of that did not "make her day" but then she gets a call from a mops mom that lets her know how meaningful MOPS is in her life and Suzanne is relieved to know that it is all worth it cause "Mothering Matters."
Each table member wrote cards, gave gifts and Trina Munsch was able to put it all together and present it all to Suzanne, who was very blessed. What a great time of bonding as a group.
We followed up this time with Trisha N, who spoke on organization in the home. What a time of learning as we all took in her amazing ideas, inspiring everyone to get their home in tip-top shape!

MOPS meeting 2/20

Mops morning on the 20th was a special time as we said goodbye to our wonderful table leader, Tieara Hurn, who gets to go back home to California! We are excited for her to be back with family and friends but will miss her warm presence and good friendship at MOPS! Kelli Prichard, shared about parenting according to principles rather than rules. She was a wealth of information, as she has 8 of her own children and spent 18 years changing diapers!
