MOPS stands
for Mother's of Preschooler. MOPS is a program for
mothers of children under school age, infant
through Kindergarten. In this high stress period of
a mother's life she often feels inadequate,
frustrated, isolated, or lonely. MOPS meets these
significant needs. We hope that each MOPS evening
is a time of refreshment. And that after spending
time talking, learning, eating, sharing, and
crafting, with other Mothers of Preschoolers,
you'll be ready to look to your future with renewed
hope.
MOPS groups
exist to meet the needs of every mom with children
from birth through kindergarten, Women from all
backgrounds and ages find support in MOPS as they
try to be the very best moms they can
be.
MOPS is
about......
- Celebrating
Motherhood
- Meeting
needs
- Making
Connections
Experiencing God's
Love
...through relationships and resources.
The MOPS
Story
Eight Women. The number was small, but the need
great. The first MOPS meeting took place in
February 1973 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. For two
hours these mothers talked, laughed, ate, passed a
basket for childcare expenses, had a craft
demonstration, and ended with a short devotional.
In this humble beginning, the seeds of the MOPS
concept and format were planted. Through
friendship, creative outlets, and instruction, the
women began to understand that "mothering matters."
Today, the same needs for significance are met in
much the same way in MOPS groups across the United
State and around the world.
Enrollment in MOPS
We allow a mother two (2) complimentary visits
to our meetings. After that we hope you love our
group as much as we do and decide to join.
MOPS
International
requires us
to enroll all of our MOPS moms in the MOPS to Mom
Connection. Your $19.95 enrollment fee
includes:
- A 1 year
subscription to MOM sense magazine. (6 full
color issues).
- A Veggie Tales
DVD
- A book for
mom
- Mom email (if
you have email)
And most important
- a local group of women who can relate to
one-another.
MOPS to Mom connection is used by MOPS
International to cover the administrative costs of
MOPS international materials and starting new MOPS
groups.
Our group suggests
a donation of $5.00 per meeting to help cover the
costs of crafts, materials, publicity, childcare
(where applicable) and other general expenses. We
offer several payment options for your convenience,
including a discount if you pay a semester at a
time. We feel it is a win-win for everyone, we can
plan crafts and activities well in advance and you
can enjoy the savings we receive when we plan
ahead.
We also understand
the family budget, attending MOPS should not be a
burden to your family. We will NEVER turn a mother
away because of financial hardship. Please choose
to attend MOPS, we think you'll love i
