You will appreciate this moment: mom needs to use the bathroom but one is steamy and taken by a child in the shower, and one is taken by two little ones in the bath. Mom chooses the less steamy one and closes the curtain on the short people for privacy. Mom attempts to do business while two giggling munchkins take turns opening the curtain and shreiking in laughter at mom on the toilet. Mom finishes (as quickly as possible!!) and opens the curtain to reveal two smiling urchins who chime together in unison, "WE LOVE YOU MOM!"...I love being a mom...I'm so blessed :-) ~ Nancy H.

MI (MOPS International) Updates:
- It's RENEWAL time! If you haven't done so already, it's time to renew your charters. You'll find that until this is done, you will be unable to make any changes to your group's Dashboard. Renewing early gives you the opportunity to get a summertime jump start on previewing the fantastic new package MI has put together for your ministry needs, as well as our theme book: The Artist's Daughter. Also, every leader your group registers counts as an entry into MI's drawing for four fun prizes, and every group with (5) or more registered leaders will be automatically entered into an exclusive drawing for a MOPS library of books valued at $250! You can renew online at www.mops.org, or by phone at the number listed in the MI contact box below. Save $40 0n group renewals through June 30th.
- MOMcon will be here before you know it...Our special guests' list includes: Lysa TerKeurst, Beth Moore, Ken Davis, and more! See the box on the left for the link to register.

Prayer Request:
Your Area 24 MVS (MOPS Volunteer Staff) will have our Leadership Retreat on June 21 & 22. Please keep us in prayer as we learn together, share with and encourage one another in order to serve our Area MOPS moms & leaders well. Prayer for our husbands or family members who will be holding down the forts, and for young "soldiers" who will be with them is also much appreciated ;-). Thank you!
