Joy J.

Let's meet another MOPS mom. Joy is our Hospitality Chair, which means she works to make sure everyone receives a warm welcome at meetings, plans other events for us to enjoy (such as last week's fall festival) and makes sure we are well-fed at meetings, which we all appreciate! An interesting fact about Joy is that she was a founder of the MOPS group at First Baptist. Thanks to her family's most recent addition, Ava Grace, she's back as a member.
