Welcome to the London, KY MOPS website!
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meets monthly to provide a place where mothers of young children can gather to revive and learn how to be the best moms they can be through motivational speakers, crafts, food and fun! MOPS is not a Bible study - just a special time for moms! A time to interact with other moms and get involved in community activities together. Each month a new speaker/presenter will come to the meetings to discuss topics that are helpful to mothers with young children. We also enjoy breakfast and fellowship together. This is a time for sharing problems, concerns and joys with other moms. While the mommies meet, the children are involved in a Christian based program especially designed for ages birth through five years.
Our London chapter of MOPS meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at
Corinth Baptist Church
1671 Old Whitley Road
London, KY 40744
606-864-5440.
The HOME FACTOR
Begin Here...Go There
The Home Factor: Begin Here...Go There is our new theme for the 2007-2008 MOPS year. We are going to learn how to DWELL WELL this year together. We are focusing on "Living fully from the space you call home." (from theme book)
MOPS is about "celebrating motherhood; making connections with other moms; providing support and affirmation and experiencing God's love through relationships & resources." These are the things we are focusing on this year with our moms. We are focusing on FAMILY.
Our May meeting will be Wed, May 14th from 9-11:30 AM.
This will be our last meeting for the 2007-2008 year. We will be discussing how to prepare our kids for school. We'll talk about pre-school and kindergarten. What do you children need to know before you send them off? What school will your child attend? Will your child attend pre-school? We'll touch on several topics of preparedness for US, as moms, and for our children!
We will not have our regular meetings during the summer. Our first scheduled meeting for the new 2008-2009 year will be in Sept. BUT.. we do plan to meet during the summer for some fun activities. Keep your calendars open and we'll keep you updated!
Our April meeting will be on Wednesday, April 30th, from 9-11 AM.
We meet at Corinth Church, upstairs in a classroom. Child care is provided at $5 per family. We need to know how many children to plan for each meeting. Please make sure you contact Kristi Kitzmiller to let her know how many children you will be bringing with you each month to the book club meeting.
