Welcome to MOPS and MOPS NEXT at First Federated Church!

MOPS/MOPS NEXT stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and into the next step -- Elementary school. We exist to meet the needs of every mom -- moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS/MOPS NEXT recognizes that the years of infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs. MOPS/MOPS NEXT helps moms through relationships estabilished in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children. Come join us at Federated to begin your quest to be the mom God intended you to be!

December, Already?

Can you believe that it is already December? As we turn the page of the calendar tomorrow, we will start the push of 25 days until Christmas! There will be lights to hang, stories to read, parties to attend, presents to buy and wrap, etc. So much to do!

We would like to know:
What special traditions do you and your family do for Christmas or to get ready for Christmas?

Tuesday is coming fast!

Hi Ladies... it is that time of the week again! It is time to plan to come to MOPS on Tuesday! Can you believe that is its already time for another MOPS Meeting? Time is flying at my house!

We will be meeting this Tuesday -- 8:45 am -- in the same place -- First Federated Church. We will be hearing from a former MOP Sue Holcomb. She will be challenging us to "Promote the Papa". Our kids reflect our attitude towards our husbands, so what is a healthy and what is an unhealthy attitude to demonstrate to our kids? What behaviors do we want our kids to do to show the respect and honor that the father deserves? What do we do if our husbands are hard to respect and honor? Come on Tuesday to find out and BRING A FRIEND!!
