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.
