What is MOPS?

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers (children ages 0-5). It exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader.

A typical MOPS meeting includes:
•    Speakers and topics relevant to women and moms.
•    Opportunities to talk to other moms— uninterrupted
•    Connecting with other moms and building lasting friendships in small groups
•    Creative activities Breakfast & Coffee

While the mother is participating in a morning planned just for her, her enrolled children are included in a separate program, MOPPETS, just for them. All children enjoy playtime including stories, crafts and songs. For older children, a “classroom” is available for those that are homeschooling. A teacher is present to assist with questions to help complete work.

MomSense equips moms to recognize their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style while navigating through the myriad of daily mom decisions.

Developing a mothering strategy is somewhat like playing a game—and this year’s theme is appropriately game related. Have fun being a mom! Playing games involves being bold and taking risks, loving those in the game with us and being sensible while figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

Just as in real-life, sometimes in games, unexpected events occur abruptly changing our paths. We must regroup and determine our next steps. Sometimes we follow the instructions of “experts.” Sometimes we follow the advice of trusted friends. Sometimes we decide our “house rules” work best for our family. Teaming together with other moms is a great strategy. Relying on a spouse or mentor can help us play more effectively. And, most of all, developing a strong God-Sense is essential for mothering. Growing as a mom through the analogy of a game playing can help a mom gain confidence in her abilities as a mom.
