Thursday Morning MOPS at SOTV

 

What is MOPS?
Thursday morning MOPS is a faith-based group of mothers who have children aged birth thru kindergarten.

Meetings start with a wonderful breakfast that each small group takes a turn hosting. A variety of enriching topics are discussed throughout the year.

Meetings also include outreach projects that benefit our community, crafts, guest speakers, and plenty of chat time within smaller table groups.

There are also social events outside the regular meeting times for moms to get together and have fun. MOPS is a wonderful respite from a busy and hectic life.

When is MOPS?
Meetings are bi-monthly on Thursdays 9:30 to 11:30 AM, September through April at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church in Apple Valley. The first meeting for the 2009-2010 year will be on September10, 2009.

What is MOPPETS?
Moms can fully relax and enjoy themselves in MOPS meetings knowing that their children are well cared for in our MOPPETS programs. Children are grouped into rooms according to age.

While in MOPPETS, children play, do faith-based activities, and have a snack. Children remain in the same room all year, so they are able to make friends and get to know their teachers well.

Our teachers are paid staff that have been background checked by the church and they work hard to provide a wonderful, caring and nurturing environment for our children.

What’s up for MOPS in 2009-20010?

The 2009-2010 theme for MOPS is "Together on Planet Mom."

Our theme verse this year is "For where two or three come together....there am I with them" Matthew 18:20

God created us for relationship! It's one of the defining parts of being human. However, when you become a mom, all your relationships change. It's like you have landed on a different plant-Planet Mom-and your relationships on Planet Mom don't look like the ones on your previous planet. This year, we will learn from, and share with each other, how to thrive in relationships Together on Planet Mom, and grow closer to God in the process. Hope you will join us!

We hope to meet you this fall at SOTV MOPS!
