Welcome to MOPS

at Hope Community Church!

 

 

 

 Our goal is to reach out to mothers of young children and fulfill your unique needs at this stage of life.  We aim to meet some of those needs by providing real relationships with other moms.  We welcome ALL moms of preschoolers--urban, suburban, rural, stay-at-home, working, single, married, and teen.  We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month from September through May at Hope Community Church, Plano (our chartering ministry).

 

Our next meeting is January 4, 2012.  Children can be dropped off at the church nursery beginning at 9:15 am.  If you would like more information before visiting, please visit our contact page.  Someone will respond by email or phone.

 

Tell a Friend!  MOPS is an outreach ministry.  It's open to every mom in the community!  If you know of any mother of preschoolers would could use a lift, be sure to tell them about MOPS.

The MOPS International theme for 2011-12 is 

MomSense: Bold • Loving • Sensible – equips moms to embrace their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style while navigating through the myriad of daily mom decisions. Most women wonder: 

  • How do I decide what to do when I really don’t know what to do?
  • Should I trust my intuition?
  • With so much available information, how do I discern what’s best?
  • What are the most important family values?

 

Developing a mothering strategy is somewhat like playing a game — and this year’s theme is appropriately game related. Have fun being a mom! Playing games involves being bold and taking risks, loving those in the game with us and being sensible while figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

 

Just as in real-life, sometimes in games, unexpected, “chance” events occur, abruptly changing our paths. We must regroup and determine our next steps. Sometimes we follow the instructions of “experts.” Sometimes we follow the advice of trusted friends. Sometimes we decide our “house rules” work best for our family. Teaming together with other moms is a great strategy. Relying on a spouse or mentor can help us play more effectively. And, most of all, developing a strong God-Sense is essential for mothering. Growing as a mom through the analogy of game playing assures every mom gains confidence in her abilities as a mom.

 

Combining her mom intuition and her common sense helps a woman discover her own unique MomSense.
(Mom Intuition + Common Sense = MomSense)
