Mopping the Brutons

Here are some photos from the first night of "Mopping." Melissa Feeters, Miranda Pyles, Jenny Livingston, Harmony Montes, and Mandi Livingston "Mopped" the yard of Becky Bruton, one of our mentors. We had the help of one of our MOPS graduates, Kadie Laughlin! It was tons of fun! We are looking for other ladies who want to volunteer as part of a "Mopping Team!"

MOP a Yard!

Ever heard of Flamingo Flocking? You know, where someone wakes up one morning and finds their yard decorated with a flock of garish pink flamingos? Well, ever innovative, a group of us ladies of MOPS @ Crossroads decided to take this idea and put our own spin on it! And now, we've got a great fundraiser and just plain fun activity for MOPS @ Crossroads!

MOPS @ Crossroads wants to go "Mopping" and "Mop" your yard! We've had our moms at the last meeting decorate a few dozen wet mops and pretty 'em up! Now you can "Mop" someone's yard and they will wake up to a yard full of our special "Mops Ladies" and a oh so cute sign that says "Your Yard's Been Mopped by MOPS @ Crossroads Community Church."

For just $10 you can Mop a yard! And if you just aren't in the mopping spirit and need to ensure your yard isn't Mopped, well, you can buy some "Anti-Mopping" insurance for just $10 a semester. While in effect, no one can Mop your yard. But, what fun would that be?!

Contact Harmony Montes for information on Mopping a yard. She has all the documents and will accept the payment. You can email her at Finance AT Mopscrossroads.org (please replace the AT with the @ sign).

Remember, this is a great way to wish someone a happy birthday, congrats on a new baby, happy anniversary, goodbye, and more! And you can Mop people that aren't in MOPS - Mop your neighbors, your in-laws, your pastor, your neighbor, your best friend, anyone!

Here are some pictures from a recent Mopping. We're hoping to get some daytime ones soon. If you get Mopped, be sure to take a picture. Put in our facebook page!

At Capacity

Ladies,
We are pretty much at capacity for our MOPS year. We have almost 80 moms and about 115 kids in MOPPETS. Our biggest limitation this year is MOPPETS. Our church has a growing Christian School, and so we have limited classroom space. Also, we have just enough volunteers to watch kids and no extra. This is a reality that many MOPS groups face.

If you are someone searching for a moms group - a place to feel connected and not alone - please contact us to see if we can squeeze you in. Right now, though, you may want to consider checking out other great MOPS groups in the area. Via the MOPS.org website and their nifty search tool, I found 8 groups in 50 miles of the 29485 zipcode.
