In 2010-2011, we invite you to join in the learning process as together we explore Momology: The Art and Science of Mothering.

Mothering is both art and science. It combines all of who we are to shape healthy, resilient kids, which is a very complex job!

MOPS International has identified four essential elements for successful outcomes with our kids:

Core -- knowing and growing ourselves.

Finesse -- honing practical mothering skills.

Circle -- building significant relationships.

Grandscape -- engaging with God and His unique purpose for our lives.

Through Momology, as we explore together, we’ll be guided by an all-knowing, all-powerful, always-present God. Our theme verse for the year is:

Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:10)

Anywhere we go, God sees, knows, and guides. So we can lead — and love — knowing God will get us through all the hard spots, all our decisions, all our roles, all our times we can’t hold open our eyelids and the times we’re bursting with joy. God’s hand guides us as we guide our children. As we study Momology together to become better moms making a better world.
