When & Where does MOPS meet?

Habersham MOPS meets twice monthly during the school year, typically the first and third Fridays of each month. Our meetings take place at Level Grove Baptist Church in Cornelia, Ga. from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Fall semester runs from September to December; and Spring semester from January to May. During the summer we typically arrange monthly playdates or other special events.

For directions to Level Grove Baptist Church, visit the church website. Upcoming meeting dates and other events are posted in the right hand sidebar.

What will I do with my children?

While moms enjoy refreshments, guest speakers, crafts and conversation with other moms, your little ones are being cared for in a loving environment right in the same building. The MOPPETS ministry is not just 2 hours of free babysitting. Children are divided into age appropriate groups and enjoy bible stories, games, crafts, singing and other activities.

If you are ever needed for any reason, a MOPPET worker will come and get you. Infants up to 6 months old are permitted to join mom in the meeting area.

What happens at a MOPS meeting?

MOPS meetings include fun, food & friends. Our hope is that you'll relax and enjoy your time with other moms while you get a break from feeding someone else, changing diapers and those treacherous mountains of laundry!

A typical MOPS meeting goes a little like this:
  • Drop off your Moppets
  • Register & eat breakfast
  • Welcome & Announcements
  • Guest Speaker or Craft Project
  • Discussion Groups
  • Pick up those precious bundles all refreshed!

Sometimes there is a speaker and other times a craft or activity, but always support for those glamorous and not so glamorous moments of motherhood!

What is MOPS?

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is an international organization which serves to encourage, equip, and help women become the best moms that they can be! Women who are expecting or have children ages birth through Kindergarten are invited to join MOPS!

MOPS is all about:
  • celebrating motherhood (the good, the bad & the ugly!)
  • meeting needs
  • making connections
  • experiencing God's love through relationships & resources
MOPS is designed for all mothers of preschoolers (conception through Kindergarten) and is coordinated by a Steering Team consisting of MOPS moms! Your preschooler will find an open, caring atmosphere and you'll find the same! At MOPS the specific needs of today's preschool mothers are met.

At MOPS you will share in small discussion groups where women interact, encourage and learn from one another. You'll encounter a comfortable setting for social and spiritual enrichment for both you and your child(ren).
