First Meeting Date & Registration

Good Evening Ladies!! 

Our group -- Murphy MOPS --  is now official!!  We have been registered on the MOPS website, so we can officially start getting moms registered!

First of all, our first meeting will be Thursday September 17, 2015 at 6:00 pm  at Little Brasstown Baptist Church in the new building.  If you are not familiar with Little Brasstown, let me know and I can send you directions.  I wanted to meet on the 3rd of September, but it is coming so soon, I thought this would give me more time to prepare. 

I have created a facebook page called Murphy Mops...if you haven't "liked" it yet, go ahead and do that, as it will be an easy way to communicate with the members. 

At this moment in time, we DO NOT have childcare available.  I am still working on that and if something changes I will let you know.  The first meeting should not last long...it will simply be a meet & greet and talk about what you ladies would like out of this group.  I will try to have some type of refreshment there. 

As for the schedule for the rest of the year -- plan on meeting on the 1st and the 3rd Thursday evening of each month, October-May, from 6-8 PM.  If something changes in the planned schedule, I will let you all know ahead of time. 

Lastly, now is the time that each mom who wants to join must register to receive their membership kits.  I will be sending out an e-mail to each of you who have confirmed your participation in the group.

If you do not receive the e-mail, then I have not received confirmation from you that you want to participate, so please let me know ASAP if you would like to participate.  The registration is super easy, I just registered myself this weekend and it takes about 5 minutes to input your address, birthday, etc. and payment method.  Once again, the cost is $24.95 for moms and $26.95 for mentor moms.  The confirmation e-mail states that it will take 4-6 weeks for the member kits to arrive in the mail, so I encourage each of you to do this soon.  Hopefully it won't take that long.

I will continue to prepare for this group and pray for blessings for each one of us. Please let me know if you know anyone trustworthy and reliable that might be willing to help with the childcare portion of MOPS.  I would love to have that available...as  I have said before, I don't want any mom who wants to attend to be unable to because she doesn't have a sitter.

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 fields shall clap their hands.  Isaiah 55:12

Welcome to Murphy MOPS!!!

Welcome to Murphy MOPS!  I am so excited to be able to start this group and looking forward to a great year that I know is going to have an impact on myself and so many other women in our community. 

This all came about very quickly, after I felt led to create a group that is supportive to moms trying to navigate the challenges of raising young children.  I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 3 month old daughter, and I know that life can get tough.  Murphy MOPS is going to be a group to provide support through those tough times, and a place to escape for a couple of hours a couple of times a month and re-charge.  

I am so grateful to Little Brasstown Baptist Church for being so supportive and helping us to get this group going.  Their support and the interest from moms in our community is just affirmation that there is a need for this type of fellowship in our community.  

I am hoping to get the group kit soon and I plan on ordering the member kits this weekend.  So...if you are interested in joining us, and have not confirmed with me, please let me know ASAP.  Remember, that the member kits are $24.95 (not a bad price for the material we are going to get for the year!).  

Anyway, this is going to be an exciting year full of blessings and I can't wait to get started with our kickoff meeting soon!  Praise the Lord for allowing all of this to happen.  Please continue to be prayerful for our group!  

Lots of Love!
