Why MOPS?


Why I am thankful for MOPS...






I am so thankful for MOPS because where else can you eat ham & chocolate cookies while discussing in detail your episiotomy scar, how tough your nipples are now, and how long it’s been since you shaved your legs – all while nursing your newborn in your pj’s and with no shower today? ♥ ♥ ♥ –Jenni

I get to meet other moms that are going through the same as I. [Als0] get a little break. The learning experience. –Lauren

The chance to get a little “me” time to be around other mothers that can relate to the every day things of motherhood. –Amy

I am thankful because I get friendship and fellowship. I learn neat new “homemaker” tricks. I get biblical principals that I can apply to daily life as a mom. –Renee

I am thankful for MOPS because I meet new friends and I feel loved and wanted.

Nine years ago, I moved to a new area, as a brand new, first time mom. MOPS was a life saver for me. It became a place where I could go for encouragement, advice, and new friendships…a place where I fit in. And eventually a place where I could serve and use/grow my talents. I love my MOPS/mommy support group! I’m sad that this is my last year, but I am taking away so many great memories and lasting friendships. –Julie

It’s a place where I can come and relax from all the cleaning and housework. It helps me to learn new things about being a mom, meeting new people and making new friends. –Lacy

I am thankful for MOPS, for the interaction with other moms. I also enjoy the variety of activities conducted each session. –Patty

A night out and the fellowship. Being able to talk to other moms about stuff that is going on. –Christine

It’s nice to have a place where I can get away from the children and eat supper (without preparing it) most of the time. :) –Jenelle

Friendship! To know I am not alone as a mother who has meltdowns with my kids. Lol –Sandra

For the adult conversation, sharing my joys and trials with other moms going through the same thing. The food: There are some wonderful cooks here! Making friends! Being inspired and encouraged. –Amber

It’s a lot of fun! I am thankful for MOPS because I like being open about our home life and topics about how we handle certain situations about our kids at home or opinions about it. I like donating crafts to people in need, too! –Amy

Thankful to have a couple nights a month to have wonderful fellowship, food and fun with other moms. Thankful for MOPS where my younger kids can have another opportunity to have fun with other kids in Moppets. –Mary

It gives me new friends. My kids love playing and visiting and meeting new kids. There are always moms with good advice. –Shannon

I now have an amazing group of friends and an amazing support group. I’m thankful to have a group of women that I can relate to. I’m also thankful for MOPS bringing me closer to God. –Dorothy

All the great moms who have now become friends. Time away to relax and have a good time with other moms. –Ashley

It’s time away from my daughter and husband. I love the fellowship with all the ladies. –Misty

I enjoy being able to talk to my friends without kids. I also enjoy meeting new friends! –Jackie

I’m thankful for MOPS because of all the people I’m around. I have friendship and my spirits are lifted every time I’m here. I love this place! –Krystal
