"Where two or three come together ... There I am with them."
Matthew 18:20
What is MOPS?
The MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Experience equips women for the joys and challenges of their lives as moms. One key factor in the MOPS Experience is the relationships built within a group. Time and time again, MOPS moms share that the friends they make in MOPS are significant for this season of their life and on into their future. 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 planet—Planet Mom—and the relationships on Planet Mom don’t look like the ones on your previous planet. Your relationship with yourself is different—you are a mom! Your relationship with your husband, girlfriends, extended family, community and God have all changed. Many of these changes are positive, some are not. Even positive change requires adjustments on your part.
During the 2009-10 MOPS year, we will explore how to thrive in relationships Together on Planet Mom.
When does MOPS meet?
You are invited to a place designed specifically for you, a mother of preschoolers. Here you’ll experience authentic community, mothering support, personal growth and spiritual hope, all to help you be the best mom possible.
MOPS at Philadelphia Baptist Church meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month beginning in September through May of the following year from 9:00 AM until 11:30 AM. In December PBC MOPS has a special celebration that includes our MOPS' spouses in lieu of the monthly meeting.
What about my Preschooler?
Quality, structured, and educational learning, as well as a craft time and play time in PBC's inside playground are provided to your little ones through the dedicated loving care of our Volunteer Moppets. Moppets are the backbone of our MOPS organization. We could not exist with out the loving support that our Moppet Caregivers give to our MOPS and our preschoolers.
Philadelphia Baptist Church is dedicated to the protection of children. Please check out the Discovery Zone Parent Handbook concerning Wellness and other policies. Moppet caretakers have completed a Volunteer Application which includes a background check through the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office. We use Parent Pager FAQ for secure check-in and check-out of all preschoolers.
"We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers.
We continually remember before our God and Father
your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love,
and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
