Our MOPS topic for September was 'Friends.' For those of you who missed the meeting, we had a great time eating yummy snacks and fellowshipping with one another, and even enjoyed a fun scavenger hunt that taught us some reasons why it is important for us to have friends in our lives! Living far from family, I know that for many of us in the group, including myself, MJ and Melissa; friends have become extremely important to us. We rely on the support from our friends to get us through the hard times and to laugh with us through the good times. Our friends have actually become more like extended family. In fact, we could not make it through this precious time in our lives without them!

During the meeting, we also learned some tips for cultivating our friendships and made cute custom journals to bring back to each meeting, so that we can write notes and prayer requests in them all year long. If you did not get to make one, talk to MJ because you are going to want one! Here is the funny video clip Girlfriends that we did not get to see because it was being stubborn that night, hope you enjoy it!



October brings a new MOPS topic with it. This month we will be talking about the relationship we have with ourselves, specifically focusing on inner and outer beauty. At the first meeting, which is this Tuesday (Oct. 6), we will enjoy a Mary Kay beauty session with Shelly, including free giveaways that you will not want to miss!

We will also have a Halloween costume exchange this week, so if you want to participate, bring a kid's Halloween costume! If you want it returned, make sure you put a label on it. We will of course have our ongoing book and coupon exchange as well. After we do prayer requests, I am going to collect them from each table leader to post on the MOPS prayer blog. If you do not want your request posted, please let me know. If a prayer request arises between meetings, email me your request and I will post it along with the others. Remember, the prayer blog is private so if you want to be able to view it so that you can be praying, you have to email me your email address so that I can invite you to it.

If you signed up to make a freezer casserole meal, make sure you bring it frozen in its tin, with its label on it, to this meeting. Single moms, if you signed up to receive casserole meals, make sure you are there to pick up your meals.

Have a great weekend, hope to see you Tuesday!
