This year's theme is ""Love as if your life depended on it."   And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."1 Peter 4:8.  Our hope is that you will leave each MOPS morning filled with love and will grow in your knowledge and understanding in Christ and in being a mom. We pray that MOPS will be a place that you find safe and caring, and an environment in which to share and grow as moms.

What is MOPS?

MOPS is caring through:

• A program designed for mothers of preschoolers and their children, coordinated by the mothers themselves.
• An open, caring atmosphere where specific needs of today’s preschool mothers are met
• A group of mothers reaching out to other mothers.
• Quality care and opportunity for children to experience love through the MOPPETS program

MOPS is sharing in:

• Small discussion groups where women interact, encourage and learn from one another
• The fulfillment of developing new friendships.
• A comfortable setting for social and spiritual enrichment for mother and child.
• The enjoyment of completing a craft with opportunity for creative expression and sense of accomplishment.

MOPS is preparing through:

• The balance of a sense of identity and personal worth.
• Instruction relating to womanhood, marriage, child rearing and the home based on biblical principles.
• The development of a sense of Christian character.
• The opportunity to develop leadership skills
