MOPS

Are you a mother of a preschooler (age birth to 5) and looking for a chance to connect with other Moms? If so, you’ve come to the right place! The arrival of your baby in the world was difficult enough. 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.

SAVANNAH CHRISTIAN’S MOPS PROGRAM IS ABOUT:

WHAT IS MOPS?

MOPS is a special place you can go to meet other women who are also experiencing this unique stage of life. You’ll have a chance to not only make new friends, but discover an abundance of helpful hints and smarter strategies to deal with the wide-ranging challenges of motherhood.  This year’s theme is “Adventures In Mothering” which celebrates the roller-coaster of experiences we face as mothers of young children.

WHAT WILL I DO AT MOPS?

• fellowship
• food
• relevant speakers
• crafts or activities (periodically)

DO I BRING MY CHILDREN?

Yes, 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.  Each childcare provider has been screened with a national background check.

If, however, your children are currently enrolled in a local nursery school, we would still love to have you join us while they spend time at their preschool. Savannah Christian’s groups meet twice a month from September through May from 9:30 a.m. -12 noon.

DOES IT COST ANYTHING?

Yes, there is a yearly MOPS to Mom Connection membership of $23.95 which is 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), weekly Mom E-Mails (weekly bursts of encouragement) and other great resources. We do have weekly meeting fees. However, we never want money to prevent you from joining MOPS, so please ask if you need assistance, as full or partial scholarships are available.

MOPS PURPOSE STATEMENT

MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.
