Habersham MOPS visits Jaemor Farms


What a great day for a hayride!





MOPS & their Moppets had a fun morning playing in the pumpkin patch,

learning how they wash apples,

and taking a hayride!

What fun! We had about 15 moms today...a great turn-out! Thanks for coming!! We would love to add more images to the blog. Just send them to habershammops@gmail.com!

Habersham MOPS Meetings Officially Begin!

Habersham MOPS First Meeting
A Grand Success

Thank you, MOPS Moms, for making this all possible!

The Steering Team had a wonderful time Friday as we celebrated the first of many MOPS meetings together.

Our Mentor Moms, Kathy Cashion, Kathy Riley, Sherrill Thomas & Marty Thurmond provided a scrumptious pancake breakfast to start off the morning just right.

The Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist, Bill Cashion, prayed over us and welcomed us to their wonderful facility.

Some goofy girls put on a silly skit.

Children played harmoniously in the preschool wing while they were nurtured & loved by MOPPETS workers.

Mothers treated themselves to 2 hours to become rested & refreshed.

Women gathered together as one group to encourage, inspire, and relate with one another!

Welcome to MOPS, ladies! We hope this year brings new & deepened friendships, recognition for all the hard work you put into your family, growth in those skills, a break from the ordinary, and, most importantly, a relationship with your Creator the Lord Jesus Christ!!

**Let us assure you that the Steering Team does not always want their pictures posted to this blog (smile). We do not yet have approval from our MOPS Members to post the pictures of them or their children. We will request permission at the next meeting so that we can put the beautiful faces of our MOPPETS Workers, MOPS Moms and children on this site!

New Workers, Opened Classes

We are excited to announce that there are two new MOPPETS Workers! This means the Infant & One Year Old Classes have reopened!

This is an answer to prayer and we are relieved that moms will not have to make their own childcare arrangements!

Remember, it is NEVER too late for you to register for MOPS...beginning, middle or end of the semester. Our first meeting is September 7th...THIS FRIDAY!! Join the fun...find friendships...feed your spirit! Moms take care of so much! So...who takes care of Moms? MOPS does!

Registration Still Open...MOPPETS Filling Up Fast!

Dear Moms,

We are excited to tell you that we are still accepting registrations! There has been a fantastic response to Habersham MOPS!!! The Steering Team is hard at work preparing for Fall Meetings and beyond! Remember, our first meeting is September 7th!

With such a tremendous response, we are experiencing limited space in the MOPPETS (children's) program!

God's Gifts (Babies) - Class is closed as child/teacher ratio is met
Special Ones (Creepers/Crawlers) - Class is closed as ratio is met
Forever Friends (1s & 2s) - 3 Spaces Remaining
Helping Hands (3s & 4s...up to 5) - 5 Spaces Remaining

Please do not be discouraged!!! We will NEVER turn down any moms!! However- if you register, you will need to make childcare arrangements on your own until we are able to secure more loving childcare volunteers. There will be a waiting list for MOPPETS, as the need arises. It will be based on a first come, first served basis. Registration forms are still coming in and we will post changes to available spaces as we receive them. Also, as registrations are received, mothers will be placed on the appropriate waiting list(s) for classes, as applicable.

We are praying fervently for more MOPPETS volunteers in order to better accommodate ALL children of moms who want to be a part of MOPS.

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!!

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!!
