Celebrating Two years of MOPS!

Today we had the closing session for this year of our Mothers Of Pre-schoolerS (We follow the school year). It was an awesome time.... I can hardly believe that we have had two years of MOPS already! Below are some of the highlights of the day.

Here is a photo of all of the women gathered together this morning.

Several women shared their testimonies this morning and it was AWESOME to hear how God has been working in their lives through MOPS. Maribel, pictured above shared that MOPS has been a school for her where she has learned to be the mom that God wants her to be. She talked about the many lessons she has learned through the year....it was particularly neat that she brought her mother along with her so that she could hear her testimony. There were lots of tears!
The mommy above shared that she was feeling so discouraged and down. When her husband dropped their children off at pre-school one of our MOPS leadership gals was their handing out flyers for our MOPS program. She was hesitant to hand it to a man but decided to anyways. He then passed it to his spouse and encouraged her to go. He was worried about his wife's depression and really thought it would help her to get together with other women and talk and share. She attended and shared how the year has changed her life. She said her days are full of hope and joy now.
Here is a photo of our MOPS leadership team.... what an amazing group of women! It has been a privilege for me to work with them. Here I am recognizing them for their efforts during the year.
Three of the gals from our leadership team sang two beautiful praise songs during our celebration today. It was a real treat and wonderful to be giving all the glory and honor and praise to Jesus!
