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!

April 12 Meeting

COME TO MOPS THIS WEEK! We will have Lisa Cavanaugh, owner of The Paper Snowflake and author of the Beautiful Girl books, coming to speak to us.


The books are targeted to audiences ages 6-10 and are written using core character concepts of honesty, fairness, respect, and responsibility to give lessons of inner beauty and character building. She now has dolls that are the main characters Clara and Mandy to fill a void for playful & affordable dolls that are appropriately dressed to send positive body image messages to girls. All Moms with children ages 0+ are encouraged to come check us out from 8:45-11:15 on Tuesday




See you on Tuesday!!!

Health and cupcakes


It doesn't sound like the two of those things go together, but they will at our next MOPS -- next Tuesday, March 22 from 8:45-11:15. We will be having Marabel Kersey as our guest to speak on Health Issues for Preschoolers. She is our church nurse and is VERY excited to speak to us.


Then we will be having a Wilton representative from Michael's share with us a hands-on demonstration on decorating cupcakes! YUM! She will have frosting, tips, and bags for each person so we can decorate SIX cupcakes! Please bring a container to take your cupcakes home in.


If you are able to bring in a few extra dollars to help cover the cost of this special morning, we would appreciate it!
