FBC Charlottesville Mothers of Preschoolers: Meeting Recap

We did a cute craft at our MOPS meeting this time, but first some announcements!

A weekly Prayer Group will be starting up on Wednesday, June 12th. This summer the focus will be on prayer journals. To that end, there will be a speaker at the first meeting to give you insights on starting and maintaining a prayer journal. Look for email in the future with more info, or contact Mere Curs.
The Charlottesville Design House will be open May 4-19th. The Design House benefits the Shelter for Help in Emergency (SHE) which is the regional shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children. Volunteers are needed! If you are interested please contact Kelly Pedone.

Amber Y.

At this MOPS meeting we were blessed to hear testimony from Amber Y. Amber talked to us about receiving a (literal) prescription for Jesus when she was at her lowest, and recently, how she has been relying on the Lord fully to provide for her baby daughter. What an absolutely amazing testimony Amber, and thank you so much for blessing us with it!

Next, our Craft Coordinator Laurie B. taught us how to make an adorable embellished clip board - a perfect gift for the teachers in your life. We used templates to cut scrapbook paper to the correct size. Then we attached the paper to the clipboard using mod-podge. A layer of mod-podge was applied lightly over the top of the paper, and once dry, we tied ribbons to the clip. Simple and cute!
