MOPS July Newsletter

Hello MOPS Sisters!

As our friend Tracy Klehn writes - "The first step in making a daisy chain is to go outside...that's where the flowers are!" We have enjoyed seeing some of you at our MOPS summer play dates and watching friendships grow, new ones begin and welcoming some new mommies to our group! You are well on your way to creating that daisy chain of friendship.

Summer is officially here and we hope you are finding time to enjoy and build memories with your family! Your Leadership Team has been busy praying and planning in preparation for our 2009-2010 year and it is exciting to see God working in our group in a number of ways. We can't wait to see the awesome things in store for us as we learn Together on Planet Mom!

Don't be afraid to call one of your MOPS sisters just to chat, plan a play date or girly lunch! It is through "going outside" that you will find your rewards! We look forward to seeing you throughout the summer as our sisters open their homes for swim dates or host a park play date -- don't forget to check out Crocodile Dock VBS at VUMC July 20-24! You can find out all of the scoop as well as other summer events happening with MOPS and VUMC at www.umcv.org or http://vumcmops.blogspot.com/

"I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Rev 3:20

Blessings for a sisterhood summer!

Corrie and Joie
