Thursday Morning MOPS at SOTV

What is MOPS?

    Welcome to Shepherd of the Valley MOPS! We are looking forward to seeing you!

    Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) is an international non-profit organization providing small groups designed to build friendships and support each other.  MOPS 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.

    We begin each meeting with brunch and fellowship, followed by a speaker, activity, or game on topics such as parenting skills, enriching relationships, family values, etc. We also participate in service projects, crafts, and holiday fun.

MOPS meets at Shepherd of the Valley two Thursdays a month from 9:30 - 11:30 AM. Following are the dates for 2012-2013: September 13 & 27, October 4 & 11, November 8 & 29, December 13 & 20, January 10 & 24, February 14 & 28, March 14, & 24, April 22 &25.

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.

How much does MOPS cost?

All moms pay a yearly MOPS International fee which is $23.95. Included in your MOPS membership is:

  • MomSense Magazine
  • Weekly Mom E-mail
  • MOPS Reusable Shopping Bag
  • MOPS Iron On Appliqus
  • MOPS Stickers featuring Veggie Tales

SOTV has once again graciously blessed our group with a grant to help cover nursery and KidCare costs for our meetings. Because of this financial help, SOTV MOPS moms only pay a $50/semester fee which breaks down to just $6.25/meeting! This money helps cover speaker fees, outreach projects and other general meeting expenses. Semester fees are collected in September and January.

Scholarship are available; please don't let this fee keep you from joining our group! Contact membership at sotvmops@yahoo.com or call (952) 985-7383 with any scholarship questions.

We hope to meet you this fall at SOTV MOPS!
