MOPS Convention 2006 (post 2)

I wanted to share with you just a few highlights of convention. There is no way for me to adequately explain the entire trip. The general sessions (there were 4) were my favorite part in many ways. They brought the community together (the picture below was taken about halfway back...so imagine a room twice that size). You haven't heard anything until you hear 5000+ women singing in unison. The notable music acts were Kim Hill , Nicole Nordeman, and Mark Schultz. Some of the general session speakers were Ken Davis (no one is funnier), Priscilla Shirier who talked about the importance of prayer (great part was about epidurals being sent straight from the throne of God), Wes Stafford from Compassion International, and of course Elisa Morgan and Carol Kuykendall from MOPS International. On top of all this was the unparalelled leadership training we received. We had 4 breakout sessions. These sessions were smaller groups and focused on mothering, leading women, postional networking, and meeting the needsd of the moms in our group (that's you). I hope we have come home a better team and more readily able to serve you in this group.
