Is there a cost to join MOPS?

Why are we asked to register for MOPS meetings?
Registration allows us to plan. We want to have enough food, beverages, and supplies for all the mothers who attend. In addition, registration allows us to make seating arrangements for every mother.

What happens during a MOPS meeting?
Each MOPS meeting is designed with YOU in mind. Meetings will feature refreshments and beverages, a main speaker, group discussion, and crafts.

Is childcare provided?
YES! The childcare program is called MOPPETS. While you are enjoying the MOPS meeting, your child will be listening to  stories, coloring,  playing with toys in the church nursery. If you need childcare, you must let us know the Friday before the meeting.  

What if I don’t know anyone at MOPS?
The women of MOPS will always make you feel welcome! As soon as you come in, you’ll be greeted by a friendly mother who will introduce you to everyone. In addition, icebreakers and group discussion time allows you an opportunity to connect with other mothers.
