This Week's Speaker:
Sarah Cook with Wildtree
Sarah is a Wildtree representative and will be discussing meal planning and how to save both Time and Money! As a bonus,
we will be making a recipe to bring home called "Best Burgers EVER."
Please bring 1 lb of ground beef OR ground turkey in a gallon size freezer Ziploc Bag with your name on it to the meeting. (It can be already frozen meat, just don't thaw it out and refreeze it after the meeting). It is imperative that the protein be put in the bag and brought to the meeting so we do not have any handling of raw meat. Bring your bagged protein in your own insulated cooler with ice to keep it cold during the meeting time or you may store it in the cooler that we will have on hand for those who need it.

This Week's Reminders:
- Applications are being accepted now through our next (and last!) meeting on May 12th for our steering team for next year. Please visit the "get involved" tab to see which positions are currently needing to be filled, position descriptions and a link to download the application. We also have a new form: The Service Application is for people interested in assisting or helping out the lead person on Steering Team in that area. People who serve as an assistant or on a committee under the Team Leader are not on Steering Team, although their contribution is highly valued. Filling out a service application does not commit your services in the identified areas; it serves as a way for Team Leaders to reach out to others when help is needed.
- Get excited for MomCon 2015!!! Although it may seem early to be talking about this incredible life-giving event, we get to start planning now as it’s in mid-September this year! The exact dates are September 17th -19th in Indianapolis, IN. --What is MomCon, you say? It’s an annual conference hosted by MOPS International with the goals of building relationships, wisdom, and rest into your lives! It’s an awesome opportunity to connect with other moms in our MOPS group, to learn and grow from well-known speakers, and to worship with Matt Maher and Matthew West! Check out the promo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFoex4Vlqlg If you would like to be included on an email list with further details and planning for the event, please email maplegrovemops@gmail.com with subject title: MomCon or talk to Jen Heupel. Thanks!

wonderful experience and relative to young busy moms.
