Stacey!
 
MOPS International
exists to encourage,
equip and develop
 every mother of 
preschoolers to realize
her potential as a
woman, mother and
leader
in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

Meet Our New Leader!

Last spring MOPS was suddenly left without a leader; not wanting our group to become just a memory Stacey Hess stepped up to help us through the year.  Apparently the role of leader fits her, because again this year she is our MOPS director.  I personally really appreciate that she has taken on the challenge, so that our group can continue to grow, and touch women’s lives.

Just a few facts about Stacey:

She met her husband, Jacob, while in high school in Reese, Michigan. They have been married 8 years, and have two beautiful children Abbie, 4, and Allie, 2 1/2; their dog Remmy completes the family.   Prior to becoming a stay at home mommy she was a restaurant manager at Red Lobster.  

When I asked her to give us a little insight to her daily life she said: “I love candles, I usually always have one going….and I can’t live without lotion, I use it sometimes instead of perfume. I like to take walks with the girls ( dog too) we read a lot together, and of course what would we do with out our barbies!!!”

Make sure to take a minute and say thank you to Stacey for helping us out and taking on her role!

 

Wise Words for Moms

By Ginger Plowman

I found a little chart at Rainbow bookstore called “Wise words for moms;” I really liked it because sometimes I don’t know how to respond to my children’s conduct in a Godly way. Each newsletter I will include at least one behavior, and a Godly way to respond to it.

Behavior: Complaining

Ask your child:
1. Is your attitude showing thankfulness?

2. Rather than complaining, what can you be thankful for in this situation?

Encouragement:
“It is God’s will the you be thankful and joyful in all circumstances.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
