Hi ladies,
Happy soon-to-be Valentine's Day! Our next meeting is coming up this Friday, February 16th. We will have author, Zohary Ross, of our book Aligned Parenting. We are so excited to have her back with us guiding us through her book. You won't want to miss it.
Food Rotation
This week Table 1 “Loved” and Table 2 “Purified” will be blessing us with food. Thank you ladies!
MOPS.Org
As Jacquie mentioned at our last meeting, we would like for everyone to post their photo in their MOPS.org profile. Everyone who registered with MOPS International has a profile online. And it would be great if everyone can add their picture, so it will be easier to find contacts within our group. Just go to mops.org, and click on Login at the top right hand corner. You will be asked for your login credentials. Once you sign in, you will be taken to your profile information. Please make sure it is filled out and correct and add your photo if you haven't done so already. Thank you!
Silent Auction
On April 20th, we will have our final fundraiser for MOMSnext in the form of a Silent Auction. There will be more information to come, but each table will be putting together a basket around a specific theme (that will be assigned). If there are any home businesses out there, we welcome all donations of any goods or services for the Silent Auction. Just let us know!
Compassion Project
Samantha shared with us last week about the joint effort between MOPS and Compassion to help children in third world countries. It was heartbreaking to see the depths of poverty some children live in on a daily basis. I was also surprised to learn what small amount of money it really takes from donations to make such a huge impact to a child's life. If you are interested in participating, there are many ways you can help.
Give a one time donation. You can help our fundraising efforts and give a one time donation. Go to the VCC MOMSNext fundraising website for more information.
Sponsor a child. The most transformational way you can support a child is by providing ongoing support in the form of a tax-deductible contribution of just $38 a month. This support will provide your sponsored child with medical checkups, nutritious food, health and hygiene training, educational assistance and most important a way to hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God. When you sponsor a child, you'll receive your child's photo, personal story and a child sponsorship packet by mail in approximately 10 days. Go to Compassion's website to learn how you can sponsor a child.
Check out the video of Mandy Arioto, MOPS President and CEO, and other MOPS moms as they traveled to Honduras to meet the precious babies and moms this cause is helping. You can watch the video on the MOPS website here.
And of course this week's Bible verse is all about love!

Mom's Night Out - Movie Night
Join us Thursday, March 1st at 7pm for a showing of Kirk Cameron's new movie called CONNECT. It's about help for parenting kids in a social media world, so we thought it would be fun to get a group of us to watch it together for a Mom's Night Out.
There are limited show dates and times, but we wanted to get a group together to watch it at the showing on March 1st at the AMC Cupertino Square 16. (10123 N. Wolfe Road, Cupertino, CA 95014).
Mom's Night Out - Bunco Night
Mark your calendars for a night of Bunco for a Mom's Night Out on Tuesday, March 19th.
We will be playing Bunco at Lori McKinley's house. If you have never played Bunco, it is a lot of fun and easy to learn. And if you have played before, come join and help teach the rules. Please join us if you can for a night of fun games, conversation and great camaraderie.
And of course this week's Bible verse is all about love!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful
or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable,
and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice
but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith,
is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
