Operation Christmas Child

Today was a very special day for our MOPS group, we had the opportunity to participate in Operation Christmas Child.

We were able to package 18 shoes boxes to be sent overseas to bring joy to children.

"It breaks my heart to see children physically/spiritually/emotionally in need of such trivial things as a toothbrush in order to survive. When I think of a child hurting my mind automatically goes to Operation Christmas child, Compassion International, adoption, etc. They all get grouped together for me and I just want to help as many little ones as possible. That's my favorite thing about being the coordinator, I get to make sure all these important groups get our attention and our service. I can't really say anything specific about one of them because to me they together are one."

Members of our steering team were also promoting the 80's movie night on Saturday.

Devotional and Blocks

Shelly, our Mentor Mom Coordinator, gave a heart warming devotional about being thankful.  Something we can all relate to and a subject that is closer to our hearts with upcoming holidays.
 

 

We then got to make decorative word blocks which contained 4 words on 5 blocks in various colors. The craft was fun and messy to make and looked phenomenal when completed.
