It’s hard to believe that term 2 has come and<br />
gone and we're now half way through the<br />
year! But we've had fun!<br />
It has been a jam packed term with great<br />
MOPS mornings, several major events and 1<br />
major farewell. Rachel Francis, who has been<br />
a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>St</strong> MOPS for many years will be<br />
missed but we are excited for the adventure<br />
her family are about to embark on. [More<br />
about Rachel and her family on page 14.]<br />
Please pray for <strong>York</strong> <strong>St</strong> MOPS and the families<br />
involved. Our numbers have fluctuated<br />
considerably due to many families suffering<br />
from gastro, colds and flu. Please pray that as<br />
winter continues our families will be protected<br />
from further illness. Also, we had a group<br />
start up who were interested in finding out<br />
more about Jesus and the <strong>Christ</strong>ian faith. This<br />
has gone very well and will continue to meet<br />
in term 3. Please pray for these mums and<br />
that the seed <strong>of</strong> the Gospel will fall on 'good<br />
soil'. We also have many pregnant mothers,<br />
please pray for healthy pregnancies and safe<br />
deliveries and that the miracle <strong>of</strong> birth will be<br />
a witness to God's great goodness.<br />
MOPS recommences for term 3 on July 25th,<br />
9:30-11:30am.<br />
Thank you for your prayers and support and<br />
please consider volunteering some <strong>of</strong> your<br />
time to help this vital mission to mums.<br />
Peace,<br />
Sarah<br />
If you have ever thought about being a carer<br />
at MOPS, now is the time to get on board!<br />
A lot <strong>of</strong> the success <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>York</strong> <strong>St</strong> MOPS is<br />
because <strong>of</strong> the<br />
wonderful people who<br />
volunteer their time to<br />
care for the children<br />
attending. But due the<br />
increase in families<br />
and loss <strong>of</strong> a few<br />
carers we desperately<br />
need more help in this<br />
area.<br />
To be a carer all you<br />
need to do is be free<br />
on Wednesday<br />
mornings during the<br />
school term on a<br />
fortnightly basis. It’s<br />
not every week! Plus<br />
you'll need an<br />
approved Working With Children Check, which<br />
we can help you obtain if you don't already<br />
have one.<br />
Whether you are younger and looking for<br />
some childcare<br />
experience or are<br />
older and have<br />
experience with<br />
children to share, we<br />
want to hear from<br />
YOU! All our carers<br />
work in teams, so you<br />
won't be alone and<br />
you'll have the<br />
opportunity to make<br />
some great friends.<br />
Not to mention<br />
brighten the day <strong>of</strong> a<br />
mum and child or two<br />
or three.<br />
Please see Sarah<br />
Bolton or Alisha<br />
Kynoch ASAP if you<br />
can help us (0431 511 609 or<br />
yorkstmops@gmail.com).<br />
