Christmas Party

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Our Moms' Night Out Christmas party is coming up on December 16 at 6:30pm. That's on a Wednesday, not Tuesday like I've been telling everyone! We are meeting at Avanti's on Rockwood (that's the one by Northwoods Mall).

We will also be doing a $10 gift exchange that night too:)

Hope we will see you there!

To gear up for Christmas and the New Year, our own Annie Follis will be our speaker! She will be presenting the topic: "Blasting off with the Good Book".

There will also be the usual good time with crafts, food, and fellowship!

See you there!

The November Meeting...

was a big hit! We had a great time doing our crafts, which was a quart jar full of fixin's for a pumpkin bread. We made them up to give to other Moms of PreSchoolers that aren't attending our group.

A great discussion on what we were thankful for followed a movie presentation from MOPS.

Hope you will be able to join us next time!

Our First Meeting

Thanks to everyone that was there for our first meeting! It was great to see all of you again. We had a great time learning some new things about each other with our m&m icebreaker. We also made our name tags for the year. Don't worry if you missed the first meeting, we will have a nametag all ready for you to make at the next one.

The next meeting is October 12. Let's invite some new faces to share along in the fun!

Welcome!

What is MOPS?
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) is an international organization for all moms of infants to kindergartners, providing an opportunity to meet other moms and make the journey of motherhood together.

In other words, it's a playdate for moms! We get together to share experiences and to find out we are not alone. We get a chance to get out with other moms who are going through the same things we are. We learn from each other, celebrate motherhood, support each other, and laugh--a lot!

Bring your children along! There is also a terrific childcare program called MOPPETS. We supply the childcare while you enjoy the company of other moms and your kids get to play. From newborns to preschoolers, they are all welcome!

What do we do?

Our group meets the second Monday of each month at Christ Alive Community Church from 8:45 to 11 am, September through May. At each of our meetings, moms enjoy a chance to socialize with other moms. We have a short time for announcements, fellowship and fun with a creative activity, followed by a speaker (on a topic moms would be interested in) plus a small group discussion that allows you to get to know other moms more closely.

In addition to meetings, we also plan some playdates and the ever popular mom's night out.

Our Core Values
We exist to...

* Champion all mothers
* Encourage and equip women to mother well
* Provide a safe environment where women can be real and be heard
* Allow women to gain perspective through laughter and joy
* Offer a place for women to connect and develop Godly relationships



We hope to see you in September
