been married to Scott for 18 years and
they have 4 children: Kayla, Kyle, Ryan and Ashley.
Lori wears many hats. She is a mom to
four wonderful children who participate
in many activities and sports. She works for Rejoice Marriage Ministries,
an outreach that her parents started
after seeing God restore their marriage. Lori and her husband recently began a
charitable foundation called The Do
More Foundation that provides grants for families with medically needy
children and funeral expenses for
families who have lost a child. She is
also involved in many ministries at Grace Baptist Church including MOPS,
Awana, Nursery and Youth Group.
Thank you,
Lori, for sharing
with us today.
Welcome to MOPS at Grace Baptist Church.
We pray that you will find opportunities this year to meet new friends, spend time with old friends,
share your triumphs and struggles, be a blessing to
others and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Our gatherings are designed to be a time of fun and
fellowship, as well as a chance to have our
wonderful nursery volunteers minister to you and your children. Fun events are scheduled each
month that you will not want to miss. Thank you
for sharing your beautiful messes with us this year!

Moms live in messes. The toys, crumbs, and spit-up are their natural surroundings. Moms often feel
like a mess. They are exhausted, under-showered,
and hormonal. Their past and present circumstances and decisions can leave them feeling inadequate for
God’s love and purposes.
A Beautiful Mess — reminds moms that beauty can come out of their difficult spots. The grime of
mothering young children brings the beauty of motherhood. The bruises of life can bring God’s
redemption.
Embrace Your Story — reminds moms that their past, present and future can be used for good. God
knows where each of us has been, where we are
today and has set in motion where we are headed.
