Yes, THAT week has arrived! Some of you are rejoicing and some of you are a 'weepin! As the mother of a two year old my time has not yet arrived but I can sympathize with the level of stress that this week brings.

Send Them Back With Prayer
I sincerely hope that prayer is an important part of your life. As mothers we send up many prayers and we know the power of prayer. This Sunday, August 9th there will be a special back-to-school prayer service at 6:30pm at Simpsonville First Baptist Church at the downtown location. These prayers will be lifted up for pre-schoolers through college students.
Our children face many challenges at school and the beginning of a new school year is such a busy time for them. Parents are also dealing with the anticipatory anxiety that comes with these new beginnings. This service will give us all an excellent opportunity to turn this over to God and ask for his guidance. I plan to be there and I hope you will also!

Prepare to Blast Off
Hi Ladies!
Are you enjoying these last blissful days of Summer? It is truly ticking by fast and as Michelle said, we are preparing for a super year at MOPS.
This is my first post to the blog and I look forward to chatting with you in this venue. I have been working on the newsletter for our first meeting and I can't wait to share it with you. I have BIG shoes to fill as Debbie Dill is so talented and has provided us with two years of great info and MOPS coverage!
I am asking for your help in advance: watch your e-mail! I will be asking several of you for input into newsletter articles and for information that will be used to spotlight new and existing MOPS moms. I will also be "re-running" some of our past articles and recipes that our new members would enjoy. So grab that last bit of sun and no pushing while you are scouting out the school supplies!

August Updates
Hi there ladies,I can't believe that it is already August. For those of you with older kids, that means...16 more days until school starts!I trust that you all have been enjoying a relaxing summer. Your Steering Team has been busy planning the upcoming MOPS year.It looks to be WONDERFUL!
Here are some changes that you need to know about:
1. We are going to be meeting twice a month. We will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. The dates of our meetings are:
Sept 15 & 29 Oct 13 & 27 Nov 10 Dec 8 Jan 12 & 26
Feb 9 & 23 Mar 9 & 23 Apr 13 & 27 May 11
2. This one is going to be new to everyone... We are going to be charging a $20 dues this year. Many groups charge $5 per meeting dues ($95/year). We have been fortunate to not have to go that direction thus far. But, since we are meeting twice a month, and MOPS is providing the food once a month (to take the load off of you) we need to collect this fee to pay for the food. There are a couple of options in paying this:
A. You can send a check made out to MOPS of Simpsonville to Cheryl Griggs BEFORE the meetings begin in September. Her address is 109 Legends Way Simpsonville, SC 29681
B. You can pay Cheryl at the first MOPS meeting on September 15th.
I know money is tight right now, and this is going to catch some of you totally off guard. Please don't let this $20 keep you from MOPS. If you need to speak to me about a payment arrangement PLEASE call me or email me.
I am so excited about MOPS this year! We have wonderful speakers lined up and LOTS of fun planned!Enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll see you in September (did that song just go through your head too :) )!
