Mothers of Preschoolers
WHAT IS MOPS?
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is an organization that welcomes moms and their children to grow relationally and individually by providing an atmosphere for mothers to grow, find support, and connect with other mothers.
MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be!
MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.
MOPS meets the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of each month, 9-11 AM, September - May.
Together on Planet Mom
The Mops International theme for 2009-2010 is Together on Planet Mom. The MOPS Experience equips women for the joys and challenges of their lives as moms. One key factor in the MOPS Experience is the relationships built within a group. Time and time again, MOPS moms share that the friends they make in MOPS are significant for this season of their life and on into their future. God created us for relationship! It’s one of the defining parts of being human.
However, when you become a mom, all your relationships change. It’s like you have landed on a different planet—Planet Mom—and the relationships on Planet Mom don’t look like the ones on your previous planet. Your relationship with yourself is different—you are a mom! Your relationship with your husband, girlfriends, extended family, community and God have all changed. Many of these changes are positive, some are not. Even positive change requires adjustments on your part.
