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).

If you want to join us, please contact our coordinator for more information on our next meeting or special event. Contact information can be found on the right sidebar.

Matti Grace Farrow, 6, says she is thankful for cookies during the Thanksgiving Holidays. Maisy Beth Farrow, 2, says she is most thankful for her uncle, John Michael. Matt and I on the other hand are most thankful for each and every second we have with each other and our children, the sweet little giggles and yes, of course those loud shrill screams when their whole world has been turned upsidedown. For all the night night prayers that we share together that really reveal what is going on in those tiny hearts and make every single mishap worthwhile for that day. Thank you God, for being such a personal God and blessing us with the gift of relationships. Paige Farrow

I am incredibly thankful for the wonderful opportunity to be a stay-at-home wife and mother. It has been the most incredible blessing to be able to take care of my son and my husband (and myself!). Melissa Wood

As I look into the eyes of my four beautiful children, I can't help but be absolutely thankful for God's awesome creations! The incredible foliage on the trees and the breathtaking blue of the autumn sky just increase my amazement at God's goodness!! I am also thankful for wonderful friendships and laughter experienced at MOPS!! MOPS is truly a well-needed break to be with other moms and share these wonderful mommy years! Sylvia Hotard

I am so thankful for so many things! I was sitting here thinking about this year and what things the Lord has blessed me with, a wonderful husband and 3 precious little girls. This past year I have enjoyed watching my baby grow into this amazing little toddler. We are also moving into our new home just the day before thanksgiving and this has been many months of waiting (as it was being built) this is a big exciting thanksgiving for us! We are so proud of our new place and the Lords blessings!!! My six year old has been wanting a basset dog for 2 yrs. and we told her to pray about it and this year the Lord answered her prayers and provided her this new dog, which she is so thankful for. I am so thankful for all my new friends I have come to meet thanks to mops for moms and this has been a special blessing to my heart as well!!!! Kassie Perry

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!
