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!

SNOW DAY!

We will NOT be having MOPS this morning due to the snow that we saw over night. We have already received emails from some MOPS who will not be able to make it this am, so we will start off the new semester at our next meeting -- January 25.

New Years' Resolutions

Are you the type that makes new resolutions each year? Are you able to keep them for the WHOLE year?

One year I (Sarah) made a resolution that has proven to be one of my husband's all-time favorites: I resolved to make at LEAST one new dinner recipe every month! He LOVED it! I didn't do any thing too crazy with garbanzo beans or calf's liver, but I did make some great dishes that have stuck with us, like a pork, apples and stuffing meal and stuffed shells.

Share with us... what are you resolving to do this year or what was the best resolution that you ever made!

Welcome back!

We start MOPS again THIS WEEK! Don't forget! Bundle up the kids so you don't miss a great line up for our meeting, including our FFC nurse Marabel Kersey! She will be speaking about Preschoolers' Health.

Since there is snow in the forecast, please check this blog and your email to see if we will be meeting. If Des Moines does not have school, then we will be cancelled. If they do have school, but the roads are messy, check here to see if we will have a meeting. We will make a decision early in the am.
