Summary of MOPS - 19th November 2010

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well we had a lovely Christmas break-up morning at MOPS last Friday 19th November!

We hope that all the mums who were able to make it last week had a great time, and thank you for providing a Secret Santa gift for another mum. It looked like everyone enjoyed their gift and I don't think anyone decided to swap it!

A big thank you to Pastor Lloyd Miller for taking the time to speak to us at MOPS about Christmas in the home and heart. It gave us a great insight into the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of slowing down and taking the time to think about what is really important at this time of year. Remembering that it's not all about presents but a time to celebrate the gift of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you Lloyd, for reminding us all.

Take a look at all the gorgeous mums on each of our table groups at our Christmas celebration last week! Find your photo below. If you would like a copy, please email Tracey or comment below and we would be happy to send it to you.

And to finish up for the year, our Christmas Craft was a cute little beaded Angel for the tree...

All the mums did a great job putting this one together!

The MOPS@MBC steering team would like to wish all our mums and their families a wonderful Christmas and safe holidays. We look forward to seeing you back at MOPS on the 11th February 2011.

Summary of MOPS - 5th November 2010

We had a great turnout of Mums last Friday 5th November and some new Mums too - which is always fabulous! We love welcoming new Mums to our MOPS@MBC group and hope they make some new friends and enjoy some time of relaxation and discussion with fellow mothers who are all going through a similar season in their life. We hope to have you all back for the next meeting!

A big thank you to Karen Askey-Doran for sharing her experience as a roving Regional MOPS Coordinator last Friday with our Mums!

Everyone enjoyed listening to how Karen originally became involved in MOPS and why she loves her role so much, visiting MOPS groups while her family travels around Australia.

Karen's gorgeous eldest daughter, Josie, also shared some stories with the Mums.

The craft activity was also a hit with everyone last week I think, with some very creative pieces being designed by the Mums. The craft activity was covering wooden bangles with decorative paper, using Modpodge (gloss glue). We had some beautiful oriental paper which was colour coordinated with some plain paper and everyone came up with some wonderful creations.

(Photos coming soon)

I'm very proud of the creativity shown by our Mums this year and think they all deserve a pat on the back for giving everything a try! See... you CAN do it!

Artwork from Kevin Downey's Art Class on 22nd October...

We would also love to see the painted masterpieces from those Mums that participated in Kevin Downey's Art Class on the 22nd October.

Unfortunately a few of us weren't there to see the creations, so if you can bring your masterpiece in with you to the next MOPS meeting on the 19th Nov, we would love to take a photo of you with your work of art and post them on the blog. Please, please...!!!

Summary of MOPS - 8th October 2010

On Friday 8th October, we had the pleasure of meeting Andrea Morrison, from Art of Dentistry, who presented the Glory2Glory Dental Ministry to the MOPS@MBC Mums, as well as providing us with some great tips for dental care for ourselves and our children.

In these images below, Andrea is showing Angela the best way to introduce oral hygiene to babies and toddlers. Even before your baby's teeth appear, it is recommended that you gently wipe the gums with a moistened soft cloth once a day. Once the baby teeth start to appear, it is recommended that parents use a baby's toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles.

Up to the age of 18mths, teeth should be brushed with plain water, once a day after the last feed in the evening. Special low-fluoride toothpastes developed for young children can then be introduced around 18mths of age. Even then, only use a smear of toothpaste and teach your child to spit out the toothpaste after brushing.

From around the age of 4 to 5 years, children should begin to learn how to brush their own teeth. Children do not have the manual skills to effectively clean their teeth until around 8 years of age. Until then, a combined effort between parents and children is required.

Andrea and her husband Colin, along with a team of other dental professionals, have recently established a dental clinic in a Burmese refugee camp in Northern Thailand, home to more than 50,000 refugees who have fled the atrocities of Burma. The camp had no dental facilities and many of the children examined were found to have severe tooth decay and dental disease. The clinic will initially care for the needs of the 500+ school children who attend one of the Schools, but will eventually provide dental care to a larger area.

Thanks to Andrea for her time and effort in presenting to us on Friday and for imparting her wisdom with regards to dental care for our families.

Summary of MOPS - 10th September 2010

Thank you to all our Mums for making our Baby Shower for Lily House a wonderful success!

We had many very generous mums donating lots of great gifts and necessities for the young mums and babies of Lily House. Fiona Browne of Lily House was overwhelmed by our generosity.

Fiona spoke to us about the amazing work she and her husband Darrin have done in setting up this safe haven for young pregnant mothers on the Sunshine Coast who have come from difficult circumstances and are trying to get their lives on track and make a fresh start. This safe, nurturing environment provides a wonderful start in life for their babies as well. Fiona had some heart-rending stories to tell and they touched us all.

We also decorated some fabric bags for our husbands (man-bags) or kids and here are a couple of photos of our Mums hard at work.

We hope you all enjoyed the morning.

See you all back here for Term 4, on Friday 8th October.

Love from the MOPS @MBC leadership team. xo

Summary of MOPS - August 27th

Another great morning at MOPS@MBC on Friday 27th August, with Issy Parsons, Pattie and Sara speaking about the women's ministry, 'Women with a Mission', and sharing with us about their recent trip to Cambodia to help out with Destiny Rescue, an orphanage, and in the slums of Phnom Pehn.

Their experiences touched us all and the MOPS team hopes the Mums enjoyed the morning.

Girls Night In... but Boys also welcome!

Come and enjoy a night out with the girls at the Maroochy Baptist Centre with a once only performance on the Sunshine Coast by singer songwriter Julia Grace, direct from New Zealand. The mother of two blends strong melodic hooks with honest lyrics and a heartfelt story or three, captivating crowds – especially of the female variety.

Julia is playing at Women’s Conferences in Brisbane and is coming up the coast, to us, for one night only. She is releasing her second album, through Parachute Music , “Beautiful Survivor” on August 10. We are so excited that she will be performing for us just 15 days later!!!

Be blown away by Julia’s new stylistic direction, with a more stripped back and acoustic sound than her previous self-titled debut album, and there’s a new grit to her subject matter.

Summary of MOPS - August 13th

I think everyone enjoyed our guest speaker on Friday, Donna Spence of Vana Childcare Ministries, who spoke to us about this wonderful not-for-profit organisation caring for orphaned children in Zimbabwe. Vana is a not-for-profit organisation that was founded in 2006 by Errol and Donna Spence (Australia) and Pastor Makoni and Jane Goredema (Zimbabwe).

The mission of Vana Childcare Ministries is to provide a nurturing family for parentless children to care for their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. They show the children God’s love and His way through prayer and example. They teach the children skills that will help them to succeed in life.

Vana Australia is responsible for providing resources of time, skill and finances to the project, where Vana Zimbabwe is responsible for the day to day oversight of buildings, staff, and specifically the children’s welfare.

We raised $25.50 from our gold coin donation, so thanks to all the mums who donated to this ministry! We would also like to thank Donna for being able to step in with only a week's notice when our other speaker had to reschedule.

To find out how you can sponsor a child, fundraise, donate or participate in a mission trip, go to www.vana.org.au.

Creative Activity: This week we decorated children's coathangars and had time to make some extra ones for one of our upcoming charities, Lily House. We had some very creative mums this week!

I need this

There are weeks when church feels more like a chore than a celebration.

Four kids. Early morning. Spilled milk. The wrong cereal. Tangled hair. Bickering and whining.

It’s a struggle to make it out the door with clothes and shoes, much less a heart dressed for worship.

There are weeks I wonder why I bother.
Can’t I worship at home?
Does God really need me to travel to a building?
Why all this work?

But then I get there and even if I only have five minutes between kids needing to know how to spell blueberry and “Mom, can I have a piece of gum?” I remember.

I need this.

I need this desperately.

I’m so dry and calloused, I can’t even tell that I’m numb.

I need this time of awakening.

The crust that seals my eyes is gently wiped away and again I see.

I see God.
Faithful.
True.
Relentless.
Gracious.
I hear God.
Whisper.
Proclaim.
Sing.
Remind.
I feel God.
Renew.
Restore.
Quicken.
Confirm.

He is.

Once again, I feel Him stir in my soul. I am alive with wonder and gratitude.

Oh, how I need this.

Things I taught my children

Found here In my on going, and usually monumentally unsuccessful, attempt at getting organize, I was sorting through an archaic stack when I came upon an old steno notebook that I had been writing in back when my children were in elementary school. I remember at the time I had decided to jot down the wit and wisdom I had taught my children. These weren't rules written on a board somewhere, but the casual lessons taught on an on going basis. Some might seem self evident…but one thing I learned very early on in parenting was…ASSUME NOTHING! The following is a list that I threw together that evening. Now, I find the list to be both amusing and nostalgic. Although not exhaustive, and there were certainly more things added to the list as the children got older, these got them through the first decade of their life! These were written in no particular order...just as they popped into my head! 1. Spend some part of every day outside. 2. Don’t watch television on school days. 3. Do your homework before you go to bed. 4. Don’t swear. 5. Don’t tell dirty jokes. 6. Keep change in your pockets at Christmas to throw in the Salvation Army Buckets. 7. Make a point of reading biographies. 8. Never share an important secret with someone who says, “You can trust me.” 9. Smile a lot! 10.

Be alone in your room, not on the street. 25. Stop, look and listen before you cross the street. 26. Never flush anything except toilet paper and your body’s waste. 27. Go for comfort over style. 28.

Don’t be quick to judge. 38. Hear people out. 39. Unzip your pants before you try to put them on. 40. Leave the toilet seat down. 41. Don’t be sarcastic. 42. Never use the expression, “But everyone else is”, in an argument with your parents. 43. Believe in Santa Claus. 44. Only ask Santa for 1 gift. 45. Get a pen pal. 46. Pray. 47.

Every once in a while, tell your siblings you love them. 52. Don’t start smoking. 53. Ask your parents and grandparents to tell you stories about their childhood. 54. Never stick anything metal in a toaster. 55. After a shower or bath, dry off with a towel before putting on your clothes. 56. Cover your mouth when you sneeze. 57. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom. 58. Flush 59. Share your lunch with someone who forgot theirs. 60. Feed your pets. 61. Don’t put dirty socks and underwear on a clean body. 62. Change your socks and underwear daily. 63. Don’t watch anything on television or at the movies you would feel embarrassed watching with God. 64. Don’t abuse your phone privileges. 65.

Summary of MOPS: July 30th

A big thank you to Leith Harding for coming in to speak with the MOPS@MBC Mums on the 30th July about the wonderful work of the Grace Centres in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

Their mission is to provide care for families and children by equipping and supporting mothers in their care role, giving children every possible advantage available to grow in a stable environment, and through education and training, empower them to be the leaders of tomorrow.

If you would like to help out this wonderful non-profit Christian organisation, please bring in to MOPS during the rest of Term 3, either some lactose free baby formula, paw paw ointment or baby pilchers (plastic pants to go over cloth nappies). Just pass this on to one of the MOPS steering team and we will ensure it gets to Leith for their next trip to Ethiopia. If you would like to read more about this charity, or even volunteer on a mission team to Ethiopia, please view their website at... http://www.gracecentres.org

Morning Tea: Chunky Raisin Toast provided by the MOPS@MBC team - was yummy!

Craft: "Look what I made" wooden plaques for our children's artwork.

New Baby Boy for Natalie & Chris Stevenson!

On behalf of the MOPS@MBC team and all the Mums, we would like to welcome the 5th addition to the Stevenson household, and their first boy... Felix Jazz. Congratulations Nat and Chris!!!

Felix was born on 13th July just before 3pm and weighed approx. 7 pounds. Both Mum and bub are home and doing well.

We pray that Natalie recovers quickly and that we see both Natalie and Felix at MOPS soon!

Summary of MOPS: July 16th

The MOPS meeting on Friday 16th July was a great introduction to the topic of Loving and Giving in Service which will run for most of this term.

Safe Birthing Kits...

One charity mentioned at this meeting was the UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund), an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity.

The UNFPA supports Safe Motherhood...

Every day, more than 1,000 women die in pregnancy or childbirth. And for every woman who dies, 20 or more experience serious complications. Of the hundreds of thousands of women who die during pregnancy or childbirth each year, 90 per cent occur in Africa and Asia. The majority of women are dying from severe bleeding, infections, eclampsia, obstructed labour and the consequences of unsafe abortions--all causes for which we have highly effective interventions.

In Australia, the Birthing Kit Foundation (Australia), is an organisation dedicated to improving the conditions for women who give birth at home in developing countries (http://www.birthingkitfoundation.org.au).

We asked the Mums at MOPS on Friday to provide a gold coin donation to this charity if possible and we raised $28 to go towards the provision of Birthing Kits for mothers in developing countries.

The birthing kit addresses the 7 cleans needed for a safe delivery. The kits are basic with 6 items. A plastic sheet, soap, 2 gloves, sterile scalpel blade, 3 cords and 5 gauze squares.

Each kit only costs AUD $2.50 to put together and transport to the destination country, so MOPS@MBC have donated 11 birthing kits to deserving mothers! Thank you to all those who donated to this worthy charity. If you would still like to donate a gold coin to this charity, please pass it onto Kylie at our next meeting on 30th July.

Encouragement - "When I Am Feeling Brittle"

I discovered another "mumma blog" recently that goes by the name "Sorta Crunchy".

I read this great post today (titled When I Am Feeling Brittle) all about the need for REGENERATION nd thought would pass it on to all our lovely MOPS Mums via this blog as I am sure many of you would also relate to it and be encouraged by it as I have been.

What to Expect : )

Saw this somewhere in internet land and had to share!
