Happy May! I hope that you were able to celebrate being a
MOM this month & that YOU were celebrated this month for being a mom! MOPS
Area 20, AL, GA, LA & MS Communities are super busy this month – working
hard to finish out our year well (need help – check out this page http://www.mops.org/leader/wrap-it-up) &
planning & preparing for our year ahead. We even welcomed five groups that
have transitioned from Group Care to a local Coach! I would like to give a
special welcome to all our new Leaders that will be joining the Team for next
year.
This month is our second Area 20 Monthly Update. Just a
reminder to check your mail each month for this update. Every identified MOPS
Leader in an Active MOPS group will receive this Area 20 Monthly Update. Please
remember to REGISTER all your leaders and identify them on your MOPS Group
Management page. If you need help updating, first go to the Tour page and read
through the information: http://www.mopsvolunteers.org/groupmanagement/tour/ If you need further assistance after walking
through that information, contact your Coach. Aren’t sure who is your Group’s
Coach? She is identified for you on your Group Management page. We look forward
to connecting with your group with this update and we will also be contacting
the Coordinator of your Leadership Team each month. All leaders are encouraged
to contact your Coach anytime you have a concern or question. We would like to
invite all leaders to join our Area 20 MOPS Leaders Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/Area20MOPS/
We are also in the process of creating an Area 20 blog for
those leaders that are not on Facebook and you can check it out here: http://mopsarea20.blogspot.com/ . If
you do check it out and would like to see us add something to the page, please
share your thoughts with me at christymolnar@yahoo.com. (We
LOVE hearing from you & appreciate your input!)
The structure of our Monthly Update will include a brief
word of encouragement or inspiration from an Area 20 MVS Coach, followed by our
Area 20 News, MOPS International Announcements, Prayers & Praises, and a
Community Report. If you ever have prayers or praises that you would like to
share with MOPS Leaders in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana & Mississippi,
please send them to your Coach.

Join us for a local Come Alive Training Event! This time is
meant for YOU, yes, YOU and your Leadership Team – everyone on the team
including DGLs and Mentors - and potential leaders. Build in your Leadership
Team’s Retreat time.
Join us for an Event listed (or talk to your Coach about a location near you) as we explore what coming alive looks like for ourselves and embrace the influence we have in the lives of others – because when we share our story, we introduce Jesus into the life of a woman, giving her the chance to come alive! You’ll also have the chance to share ideas, ask questions, and consider your own influence.

Brainstorm
ideas for next year's theme
The Fortified Hills Baptist Church in Dallas GA on April 30th
Event was attended by 40 of our MOPS Leaders and six Area 20 MOPS Coaches, one
Teen MOPS Coach and one Regional Developer.
Nickie Leighly, MOPS GA Leader, says, “Go to a Come Alive Event soon! I love the reminder about
what MOPS is all about and the passion that everyone shares for Jesus.
Sometimes I can lose the passion in all the planning and shopping. Also, it’s a
great way to network and get new ideas to give our mommas next year. I want to
use some of the videos from the event for my steering that couldn't go. They
remind us of our focus. I also came away with new ideas on how to make things
better and easier for our group, such as a layout for a newsletter and member
and moppet workers directory. I enjoyed meeting my coach. I can't wait to
become friends with her.”
