MOPS Group at St. Paul's
(Mothers of Preschoolers)
• MOPS registration form • MOPPETS registration form
MOPS is dedicated to the message that
better moms make a better world and that moms of young children, birth through kindergarten, need encouragement during these critical early years. Moms take care of their children. Who takes care of moms? MOPS provides mothers a safe place to relate, relax and recharge with other moms.
MOPPETS is the quality children's
program where little ones are loved,
encouraged, and nurtured while moms
are meeting together. The children are provided opportunities to grow socially, spiritually, and creatively.
• Join us at St. Paul's Church
from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., typically
on the second and fourth Wednesdays
of the month. MOPS meets in the Lilly Room (Church Building). Feel free to contact our MOPS leader, Dawn Auch, with questions at 842.9949 or dawn.auch@comcast.net.
• Remaining Spring 2010 Meeting Dates: April 14 & 28, and May 12 & 26.
• 2009-2010 Theme: 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.
The foundation of being Together on Planet Mom is that God is with us and we are created for relationship with him and each other. We are created to "do life" together. The more we draw together in community, the better we are able to thrive as women and moms. This life together is underlined in our theme verse for the year, where Jesus promises: "For where two or three come together ... there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20)
