MomSense: Bold~Loving~Sensible

"God doesn't want you to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible." 2 Timothy 1:7 (Msg)

Our first MOPS meeting for the year is Tuesday, September 27th, from 9:15 to 11:15 at the Log Church.  The Steering Team has been busy preparing for the upcoming year and they are excited to explore the idea of MomSense as the year progresses.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send us an email.  Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you as we begin a new year of connecting with other mothers of preschoolers in our area!

The Beach is Open!

So the shutdown is officially over! The remaining beach dates will return to Pelican Lake Beach as originally planned.

Beach Dates Location Change

Due to the government shutdown the Pelican Lake Beach is closed. Rather than cancelling those dates we have decided to move to the Crosslake Campground Beach (by the dam) instead. If/when the Pelican Lake Beach opens up again we will continue with those dates as planned, but for the time being plan on meeting in Crosslake on those dates instead.

Summer Playdates!

It's that time again! Now that our MOPS year has come to an end we will be meeting at various parks around the community for summer playdates every Tuesday. In July and August we even have a few beach days planned.  Meet at 10:30am for park play and bring a picnic lunch. Meet at 11:00am for beach dates.

A Year of Momology is Coming to an End

May 10 will be our last MOPS meeting for the year. It has certainly gone by quickly! The dates and locations of our summer playdates will be posted in the near future.

Don't forget about our upcoming MOPS Garage Sale the Friday and Saturday of Memorial Day weekend!

Thanks to all the moms who participated in our Antiquities Fundraiser. It was a great success!

Upcoming Events

We are busy selling sittings for our Antiquities fundraiser April 15 and 16. Tickets are $10 and include the sitting and a free 10x13 photograph. There is no obligation to purchase any other photos and the entire $10 goes to our MOPS group. What a great fundraiser! See any of our MOPS moms for more information or email crosslakemops@gmail.com

Also, Memorial Day Weekend we will be having our MOPS Mom Garage Sale at the Old Firehall in Crosslake. Stay tuned for more information.
