If anyone is not able to join us next year or knows of someone who would like to start coming, please email crossroadsraleighmops@gmail.com so we can update the MOPPETS rosters. We will start the new semester on January 10, 2017, but feel free to plan some small group activities between now and then!
We want to send a big shout out to all of our small groups leaders who took the time and energy to decorate the tables for the holidays. They were all so beautiful!
For the final MOPS meeting of the year, we were excited to share a little Java & Joy. We loved getting to hear the inspiring stories of hope & joy from some of our own ladies and having the opportunity to hear some of what God is doing in our lives. We're so glad those of you were willing to share with the rest of us.
We also viewed some great videos this week, that you can find at the bottom of this post.
As a reminder of the reason for the Christmas season, both our MOPS moms and our MOPPETS created crafts with a focus on the birth of our Savior. Hassell's homemade soaps was our sponsor this week. Nancy Hassell creates beautiful and wonderfully smelling soaps, plus her daughter, Kaity, is one of our MOPS moms! You can reach Nancy by email to order some soaps, which would make great Christmas gifts!
This meeting started off with some fun with a "Christmas According to Kids" video. If you missed it or want to share it with someone else, you can check it out here.
And on a more reflective note, we also viewed this video by MOPS on The Hope of Immanuel.

We look forward to seeing you next year! Karen C, Karin S & Lacinda's groups will be bringing brunch. Please sign up here.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!
