ShoreMOPS Christmas Tea

At our Christmas Tea, we set things up a bit differently. We introduced our new PLATES AND FLATWARE - an upgrade from the paper and plastic we've been using, plus they are more cost effective and less wasteful.

We also printed out cards as a reminder of how special every mother is, and how intentionally God has designed each one of us. (pictured above)



At our breakfast tables, every place setting included a Chapstick® wrapped up in paper like an old-fashioned piece of taffy, and with it was a message about having the courage to TELL YOUR STORY. (pictured on right)

We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast provided by Brownies Squared and our focus was set on having the Courage to Tell Your Story. Donna Chambers, the lead pastor's wife at Shore Fellowship Church, blessed us with an amazing presentation that inspired and provoked our hearts to be braver! To be confident in our uniqueness, to be determined to rest and honor the sabbath, and to accept ourselves as God created us in EVERY stage of our lives. A mom of three young men, she gave us some laughs and left us with hope. We were treated to story time of our own as Donna read from Max Lucado's book You Are Special.  Insecurity is a thief and it will rob you of the destiny God has for you! ~Donna Chambers Get ready for some very exciting MOPS meetings!!
