If that's you, we know you've got your hands full! We know how you feel and we're here to help! MOMSnext is an extension of MOPS for moms who have school-aged children. Come join us every 1st & 3rd Thursday of the month (Sept.-May) from 9:00a-11:00a at Crossroads Presbyterian Church! Crossroads MOPS is a place to find friendship, community, and support for you as a woman and as a mother. MOPPETS:
FREE child care from birth to age 5 provided
The MOPS program is built on several foundational principles:
Community: MOPS provides an open, caring, and accepting atmosphere where women can come together to share this important season of life. Mentoring: Mature women listen, encourage, and offer information and perspectives gained through experience. Practical Instruction: Teaching focuses on areas of common interest, offering inspiration and information that is relevant to the life of a mother. Leadership Development: MOPS groups are organized and run by mothers of preschoolers, as well as for mothers of preschoolers. Women who are involved in MOPS gain confidence in their leadership skills through the training and experience they receive from MOPS. Discussion: The intimate and accepting atmosphere of a small group offers moms a chance to share their successes, failures, questions, and concerns. It is during these times that a mom realizes that she is not alone, and lifelong friendships are formed. Teaching: Topics presented at MOPS meetings celebrate motherhood and meet a mom's unique needs during this season of life. Creative Activities: Through creative projects and presentations, women are encouraged to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes with trying and finishing new things. MOPS Kids: During MOPS meetings, children are cared for in a program called MOPS Kids, where they experience love in a preschool-like setting (mops.org). Registration happening now!
