James Henry and I started MOPS this year and yesterday was our first formal meeting. MOPS is Mothers of Pre-Schoolers but really all children below kindergarten. It is a wonderful faith based group. There is only one in all of Amarillo, I'm so lucky they had a spot for us.
We meet formally twice a month. The kids go to their own area, pre-school rooms to be exact and they actually have a Veggie Tales Curriculum that they use, as well as play time etc.
The moms meet downstairs in the church and we start with prayer, coffee and breakfast. We then have prayer requests and a devotional. Yesterday's devotional was on patience something I need alot of for sure! Yesterday we also did a fun craft, took pictures for the MOPS directory and had alot of fellowship! My discussion group is called "Trouble" based off the board game but it is kinda fitting!
There is also several chances during the month to meet for play dates, like yesterday after the meeting we let the kids play at the indoor church playground, while we fellow shipped a while longer.
I am so excited to get involved in MOPS and see what the year has in store. I feel very blessed to meet and spend time with other women and Moms who love the Lord as much as I do!
