Did you know you could register online?!! Fill out your info now...

At http://lebanonmops.blogspot.com/2012/06/register-online.html

Registration fee is $30 this year. But as always, we encourage all new moms to come visit and check us out for a couple of meetings first. We also have a few scholarships available...we don't want any mom to not come because of the cost.

This year, not only can you pay via cash or check, but we now accept debit/credit card, which makes it more convenient for you.

*We will also have our Early Registration table at our End of Summer BBQ this Saturday - Aug 24th. - so you can go ahead and get signed up for MOPS, which starts Sept 3rd.

Our New MOPS Theme for 2013/14

 

 

Moms live in messes. The toys, crumbs, and spit-up are their natural surroundings. Moms often feel like a mess. They are exhausted, under-showered, and hormonal. Their past and present circumstances and decisions can leave them feeling inadequate for God’s love and purposes. A Beautiful Mess — reminds moms that beauty can come out of their difficult spots. The grime of mothering young children brings the beauty of motherhood. The bruises of life can bring God’s redemption. Embrace Your Story — reminds moms that their past, present and future can be used for good. God knows where each of us has been, where we are today and has set in motion where we are headed.

Ephesians 2:10 

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Tea & Testimony

Every year MOPS has a Tea & Testimony Night, which is basically a fancy tea party where some Mom's share their testimony. Always a fun night. Its fun to dress up for a change. And the testimonies bless our hearts.

This year, we'll be going along with the "Plunge" theme...so think elegant beach party.
A night of Praise, Joy, & Love... Or as the hawaiians would say it Paipai Ka'ana Aloha.

Tuesday, March 19th. 6pm - 8pm.

We will celebrate MOPS, and the impact it has had on our lives.
Several moms will share short testimonies. Luau-themed food will be brought by the members of Beach Blanket Beauties and Starfish Sweeties.

We will be meeting in the Fellowship Hall for this meeting instead of the regular mops room.
And as always, free childcare provided.

So dress up, throw on some lipstick, and join us for another great MOPS event. (high heels optional ;)

Mops Meeting Feb 5th - Creative Activity

Tonight's MOPS meeting is a Creative Activity Night.

We're going to make some fun little "Because I Love You...." frames.

 If you havent seen these before on Pinterest.....here's a couple of examples:

 

 

So cute!!! :)

 

We'll also have the extra glasses and paints left from our last Creative Activity night, in case someone missed it and would like to make one.

 

Our "Trash to Treasure" table will also be set up again. So if you have anything you would like to get rid of/donate, bring it tonight and set it on the table. Other moms will be doing the same. And who knows which other mom is going to say "Oh! I've been needing on of these."

 

We're looking forward to seeing you all tonight. 6 to 8 pm.

Come ready to eat and laugh!

 

Jan. 22nd: Sacred Parenting/Craft

This Tuesday we will continue with our short Sacred Parenting study, followed by a glass painting craft.
We will provide one glass “cup” per mom, as well as providing the paint pens to decorate them. You are more than welcome to bring a couple glasses from home to decorate as well, or a vase, glass frame, etc. The possibilities are endless!



The following tables are providing food:
Mermaid Mamas (Brenda’s table) and Coral Reef Cuties (Coral’s table). The food theme is SUPER BOWL!

Bonus points:
To receive extra points, with the Super Bowl in mind, dress up in any football jersey along with sweat pants and black under your eye. Or you may dress as a cheer leader (complete with pig tails and pom poms…get creative with homemade!)

The Memory Verse: 1 Peter 3:8

We will also start Trash to Treasure this meeting! Please bring a few of your gently used items that you no longer have a use for, so that another mom in the group that has a need for it, can take it home.

See you Tuesday!

Adopt a Family in Need This Christmas

This Christmas season, Lebanon MOPS at SHCC wanted to do something to help out families in need, but rather than seeking out a few families in the community, we decided to look inward, into the normally unspoken needs within our own group. We have 4 families that have filled out our MOPS Adopt-A-Family forms with needs for their children this Christmas, ranging from much needed clothing items to their child's interest in toys, as well as a family in need for a Christmas dinner.

Here is the requested list of all 8 children:

Girls:

• 18 month old: 18 month clothes, shoes, socks and hair items; likes CARS movie items
• 2 1/2 year old: 3T clothes and likes baby doll toys
• 3 year old: 2/3T socks, clothes, hair items and shoes; likes anything Angry Birds and dolls
• 6 year old: loves craft items

Boys:

• 9 month old: 12 month clothes and age appropriate toys
• 1 year old: 12/18 month clothes, any toy that has sound or lights up
• 2 year old: 2T clothes, size 8 shoes, socks and mittens; likes Thomas the Train, CARS and PBS Kids
• 3 year old: 4/5T clothes, size 11 shoes and socks; likes Thomas the Train, CARS and SpongeBob

Family Meal:

• 1 family of 5  

If you are willing and able to assist in any of these areas, please contact Tonya at 533-2485 or email us through MOPS. Names and family information will not be released. New or gently used items only.

Thank you!
