ARE YOU THE MOTHER OF A PRESCHOOLER AND LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO CONNECT WITH OTHER MOMS?
...IF SO, YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!
The Mountain View Chapel MOPS program is about…
-
Celebrating motherhood
- Meeting needs
- Making connections
- Experiencing God’s love
- ...through relationships and resources
It
was hard enough bringing your baby into the world. But now it’s gone
and turned your world upside down! When did showers become a luxury?!
MOPS knows you are experiencing a challenging phase of life when doubt,
fear, frustration and exhaustion collide with love, joy, hope and
elation.
This is a turbulent time for both you and your child. So while you’re
pouring yourself into the development of your child, let us pour
encouragement, insight and confidence into you!
WHAT
IS MOPS?
MOPS is a special place you can go to meet like-minded women
also passing through this unique stage of life. You’ll have a chance to
not only make new friends, but discover a wealth of helpful hints and
smarter strategies to deal with the challenges of motherhood.
WHAT
WILL I DO AT MOPS?
You will enjoy a yummy hot breakfast, great
speakers, fun crafts, and the chance to chat with other mothers who can
relate to the issues you are facing.
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN?
The
children of MOPS are called MOPPETS and have a program of their very
own. Children under two have access to a full-staffed nursery while
older children can enjoy an interactive Bible story followed by a
craft, snack and play time. Our MOPPETS volunteers are some of the most
caring and dedicated individuals you’ll meet.
WHEN AND WHERE ARE
THE MEETINGS?
Our Mothers of Preschoolers group meets the 4th Wednesday
of every month (September through May) from 9:00AM-11:15AM at Mountain
View Chapel.
DOES IT COST ANYTHING?
Yes, there is a MOPS to Mom
Connection membership which is $20.00 and due along with your MOPS
registration form. With this membership you’ll receive: a magazine
subscription to MOMSense Magazine (a bi-monthly issue packed with
practical parenting tips and inspirational ideas), a children’s DVD, an
encouraging book for moms, and weekly Mom E-Mails. During the MOPS year
we have two semester fees to help cover the cost of crafts, supplies
and special speakers. The fall fee is $25.00 and the spring fee is
$20.00. These two fees will be collected at separate times during our
MOPS year.
MOPS Purpose Statement:
