MOPS@Mondays
Meets on selected
Mondays, 9:30-11:00 AM September through April. KidCare is available.

What is MOPS@? MOPS@Mondays is an intimate MOPS Group.  We are a faith-based group of mothers who have children aged birth through kindergarten. 

Meetings start with fellowship, which includes coffee/tea and a light snack.  A variety of relevant topics are discussed throughout the year.

Meetings also include occasional crafts and guest speakers.

There are social events outside of the regular meetings for our group to get together and have fun.  MOPS is a wonderful respite for those moms who are worn out from a busy life.

Our group will not exceed 12 Moms.

When is MOPS@? Meetings are preset for select Mondays 9:30-11 am September through April at SOTV.  The first meeting of the year will be September 15th.  Moms are welcome to join at any time throughout the year. (Space available)

What is KidCare? Moms can fully relax and enjoy themselves during  MOPS@ meetings while knowing that their children are well cared for in our KidCare program.

While in KidCare, 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 and friends well.

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