Mothering matters... because today makes a difference tomorrow.
Moms, what do you need most?
Me time. To be loved and appreciated. A sanity check. Patience. Freedom from guilt. Adult conversation.To get organized. More of me. Balance. To know that I'm normal. To know it'll all work out. Peace. Hope.
How can MOPS help?
MOPS helps you to define the worth of mothering. The value is in knowing that you are the mother your child needs; you have been chosen for the job! MOPS will help you learn how to fulfill your needs for identity, growth, relationships, help, perspective, and hope.
Each MOPS meeting will begin with yummy food while you enjoy fellowship with other moms. You will experience wonderful speakers who present topics that speak to you as a mom. Discussion time will allow you to connect with other women in a relaxed environment and creative activities will offer the opportunity to explore a new side of yourself.
Where do my children go while I'm in MOPS?
MOPS is committed to providing loving childcare! The MOPPETS program offers a structured time for your children to hear stories, sing songs, enjoy a snack, make crafts and play. Children under age three will be cared for in the nursery while older children enjoy a classroom setting. The dedicated MOPPETS volunteers have all been screened and will offer your children a safe, nurturing environment.
How do I register and what does MOPS cost?
