Habersham MOPS invites you to

Open House
Friday, August 24thBethlehem Baptist ChurchFellowship Hall8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
The hot weather has driven us inside! Instead of holding a registration roundup outside, we will have an Open House with coffee, tea, and a light breakfast indoors! This will be a great opportunity for moms who would like to register.
The Steering Team will be working on various tasks to get ready for our first meeting on September 7th! They would like for you to drop by briefly to meet the Steering Team, register yourself and your child(ren), and/or take a short tour of the beautiful facilities at Bethlehem Baptist Church. If you have already registered, please feel free to also come to the Open House. This event will be very informal and casual.
Registration is still open, but the MOPPETS (childcare) program is filling up fast! Please contact Merideth Shaw at habershammops@gmail.com or 706-754-8273 if you would like to register.

REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN!!

Registration for Habersham MOPS is still open, but the MOPPETS (childcare) program is filling up fast! Please contact Merideth Shaw at habershammops@gmail.com or 706-754-8273 if you would like to register.

Here is a preview of what is in store for us this year ….
The Steering Team has been working throughout the Spring and Summer to create a curriculum for this year that is both practical and sensitive to the needs of mothers. We have heard over and over from mothers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, etc., “Oh, that’s such a great idea and so needed in our community,” or “I wish MOPS would have been around when my kids were preschoolers!” This little bit of inspiration has gone a long way and we hope that you find this MOPS year to be just what the house doctor ordered!

This year our theme is the HOME Factor. MOPS International provides a new theme each year and chartered groups use that theme to build a relevant curriculum for the year. Our steering team took the direction of focusing on different rooms in the home. Some of the topics/discussions will range from home organization, how to inspire a hungry reader, preserving family memories to decorating and the meaning of true hospitality.

Please join us for an exciting year!!
