Welcome! ...First Meeting Recap
Welcome to West Bowles Community Church MOPS! I would like to personally welcome you and thank you for joining this MOPS group, and if you were lucky enough to make it to our first meeting, it was great seeing your face today!! I’m really excited about the opportunities for friendship and growth as we approach a fresh new year at MOPS and I hope you are, too.
As a recap to today's (our first) meeting, the MOPS International theme for 2009-2010 is Life on Planet Mom! God created us for relationship! It’s one of the defining parts of being human. However, when you become a mom, all your relationships change. It’s like you have landed on a different planet–Planet Mom–and the relationships on Planet Mom don’t look like the ones on your previous planet. Your relationship with yourself is different–you are a mom! Your relationship with your husband, girlfriends, extended family, community and God have all changed. During the ‘09-‘10 MOPS year, we will explore how to thrive in our changing relationships, Together on Planet Mom. (exerpt taken from the 2009 Theme Planning DVD)
The theme verse is from Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” You are not alone. Together we will make a difference not only in each other’s lives, but also in the lives of those of the community. Reaching out not because we have to, but because we can.
Here's what you have to look forward to in the months to come...
