Women of Wisdom Panel

Thanks so much to our wonderful WOW (Women of Wisdom) Panel who shared some very important advice and experiences with our moms.   Our moms presented a series of questions relating to discipline, husband/marriage, values/teaching and some general parenting advice.  You helped many of us reflect about how we could implement some of your ideas.  

Some of the books that were referenced during our discussion by one of our Mentor Moms are:
1) Creative Correction: Extraordinary Ideas for Everyday Discipline by Lisa Welchel
2) Dare to Discipline by Dr. James Dobson
3) Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp

Thank you to the Brilliant table for hosting our yummy breakfast!

Our bible study is beginning this Thursday, September 22 at 9:30am.  We will be using Beth Moore's Believing God study guide!  We hope to see you there! Childcare is being provided. 

We hope to see many of you for our play date at Chuck E Cheeses (Ahwatukee) on September 29 at 10 am.

The Marquise table will host at our next meeting on October 6! 
We hope you can join us for our October 6 meeting during which we will be hosting an "Accessory Swap".  If you are tired of using your same accessories over and over, here's your chance to get some different ones.  Bring in the items you would like to swap and choose some different ones! 

See you soon!

Our first MOPS meeting of the 2011-2012 year

What a great meeting we had today!  We saw lots of familiar faces and some new moms that joined us for the first time!  It was a busy morning as moms dropped their kids off in MOPPETS and then enjoyed a delicious breakfast hosted by the Steering Team. 

Our theme for this year MomSense: Bold, Loving, Sensible: will equip moms to embrace their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style...

Moms got a chance to meet the new Steering Team, Mentor Moms and Discussion Group Leaders.   Moms enjoyed their time getting to know each other.  Each table got a chance to compete in "Smarter than a Preschooler", congrats to the winning table! 

Moms were able to sign up for our upcoming bible study, which will begin on September 22 from 9:30am-11:30am.  We hope to see many of you there!  We will be using Beth Moore's "Believing God" workbook. 

See you all on the 15th!  The Brilliant table will be hosting at our next meeting!
