We have another new addition to our MOPS family!

Welcome...
Avery Claire Griffith.

She was born on 5/21 at 12:28pm
7 lbs, 15 oz and 20 inches

Proud parents are Kevin and Cathy Griffith...
and big brother Landon.

MOPPETs is filling up!

What a great last meeting!
I don't know about you, but I left feeling energized and encouraged!

We have 40 moms registered for next year already! And 52 children!!
There are still some spaces available in all of the MOPPET classes EXCEPT for the Infant class (Jan '09 - present). It is FULL!!!!!!
Most of the other classes only have 2 or 3 spaces left. So if you have not registered yet and need childcare...GET ON IT!!

I love you all and I hope you have a great and safe summer!
Michelle

Thanks from Susan!

Dear MOPS sisters,
I was greeted this evening with Natalie Evans bearing gifts of diapers and formula for Rebekah. WOW! What a surprise! I don’t know if Natalie noticed, but I was tearing up and really touched by this gesture of pure love.

Rebekah truly is a testament to the power of God and answered prayers. I pray that each of you will be able to meet this very blessed child and see in person the handiwork of God. Being her mother is truly an honor and a privilege.

I thank Jesus for each of you daily. Thank you so much for all of your love, support and prayers. I cannot express how deeply I appreciate each and every one of you, and I am humbled each time I receive another reminder of how many people are caring for us during this journey we are on. Remember that each of you are fulfilling your own calling with each gesture of love and support that you show another. Gal 6:2 says ‘Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.’ You are all truly a testament to this!

In Christ’s love,
Susan Budd

A Few of My Favorite Things

The last meeting before summer break is quickly approaching us!
This month we will be celebrating "A Few of Our Favorite Things!"

You don't want to miss out on all the fun...
Breakfast is being catered, there will be games, lots of prizes and giveaways and fellowship.
No one will walk away empty handed!! Or empty hearted!!

Remember, we are registering for next year already...so bring your completed registration forms and your dues.

See you Tuesday!!

MOPS has another new baby!!

Rebekah Faith Budd was born on April 21st at 8:27pm.
She weighed 4lb. 6 oz. and was 17 inches long.
Rebekah is doing well, but has a long road ahead of her.

Please continue to lift Michael and Susan, the 4 boys and Rebekah up in prayer!

PRAY!!!!

Susan Budd is being induced with Rebekah today. She started her pitocin at about 7:55am.
The last update (@10:20am) stated that Rebekah is showing some signs of distress during contractions.
Continue to lift the ENTIRE family up in prayer today!!! I know that our God is in the miracle business and I am praying for a big one today!
I will keep you updated as I can.
Michelle

@11:30 am
PTL! Praise the Lord!! Baby Rebekah has stabilized and seems to be handling contractions much better. The heart decelerations seem to be due to cord compression, which is better than the alternative. The Pitocin has been increased to help move things along. Susan is resting with stronger contractions. Thank you for your many prayers. God is Great! Michael

Reminders for April

Our April meeting is fast approaching and I have a few reminders for you.

We will be collecting $$ to buy an end-of-the-year gift for the MOPPET workers. There is no set amount, just what you feel led to give. Remember, these meetings wouldn't be possible without them!

It's official...we will begin meeting twice a month starting in September! Our meetings will be on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday's of each month. Start making your plans for the fall!

Our 2009-2010 theme is "Together on Planet Mom." We will talk a little more about this at our meeting.

I hope to see all of you on Tuesday!
Michelle
