FAQs

Q.  What is MOPS?
A. MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers.  MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom-urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms-moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be!

Q.  Why would I want to join Kennesaw UMC MOPS?
A. MOPS gives you a chance to socialize with other moms who are experiencing the same mothering trials, tribulations and joys as you.  We offer refreshment for your body, mind and soul.  We have guest speakers, creative activities (nothing too complicated) and discussion time all relative to our theme.  We also offer playdates and Moms Nights Out throughout the year.  These are optional and not part of the regular meetings but are a whole lot of fun!

Q.  My child isn't a preschooler yet.  Can I still join?
A. Absolutely!  We welcome expectant mothers as well as mothers with children through kindergarten age. 

Q.  Does Kennesaw UMC MOPS cost anything?
A. Kennesaw UMC pays the yearly charter for our group.  The registration fee is $25 plus additional fees for crafts. Your membership with MOPS includes a subscription to MOMSense magazine, MOM e-mails and other benefits throughout the year, speakers and other costs associated with running the group. 

Q.  Where is my child(ren) while I am in the meeting?

A. Children are cared for by the wonderful and qualified nursery staff in the Children's Hall of the church. Should a problem arise with your child, a nursery staff member will come and get you.

Q.  Can I keep my child with me?
A. Out of consideration for all moms attending, we ask that children 6 months and older be placed in the nursery.  (Older infants who are still nursing can be brought in for feedings.)  This is not only for the safety of the children, but also helps us in our goal of encouraging moms to have time for themselves.
