Last Meeting, May 21, 2015, Thursday

It's hard to believe we had our last meeting a few weeks ago! It was a great meeting - a time to reflect, share how MOPS has helped us to "Be You Bravely," and just have fun catching up at our tables.

Happy birthday, Summer Birthday Mamas!

Michelle Criser shared her testimony about how God truly changed her heart after she placed her faith in Him in college. Even though her parents rejected her faith in Christ and did not want to hear about her new life in God, she had no regrets and continued to pursue God and grow in him in college. Through struggles and loss she began to know God as comforter, as her Peace, and as Love after she had her first son and realized the love she had for her boy paled in comparison to that of God.

A Fierce Flourishing – MOPS theme for 2015-16

For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12  

Remember what it looks like to flourish: celebrate lavishly, embrace rest, and notice goodness.
