MOPS

 

Mops LogoMOPS is Mothers Of Preschoolers, a program designed to nurture mothers with children from infancy through kindergarten. MOPS groups meet in churches throughout the United States, Canada and 19 other countries. The women are of many ages and backgrounds, but share the same desire – to be the best mothers they can be.

 


MOPS offers:

  • A haven for soothing frazzled nerves and forming lifelong friendships.
  • A quality children’s program where little ones are cared for and loved.
  • Teaching by an experienced mother who shares biblical truths and practical ways to fulfill the varied roles of mother, wife and woman.
  • Discussion groups in an encouraging, accepting atmosphere where moms can express their feelings on motherhood and marriage.
  • An opportunity to complete a craft project that moms probably wouldn’t have the time or energy to attempt at home.
  • A place to gain perspective and balance on a group that helps bring out the best in moms.

MOPPETS

is the children’s counterpart program which is provided when MOPS meet. The children are loved and encouraged through carefully planned activities where the children grow socially, spiritually and creatively. The MOPPETS program is as important to the children as MOPS is to the mothers.

MomSense: Bold • Loving • Sensible – equips moms to embrace their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style while navigating through the myriad of daily mom decisions.

Most women wonder: 

  • How do I decide what to do when I really don’t know what to do?
  • Should I trust my intuition?
  • With so much available information, how do I discern what’s best?
  • What are the most important family values?

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, “chance” 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 game playing assures every mom gains confidence in her abilities as a mom.
