WELCOME TO MOPS! (Mothers of Preschoolers)
MOPS is about ... celebrating motherhood, meeting needs, making connections, experiencing God’s love...through relationships and resources.
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 have a day group that meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month (9:30-11:30 a.m.) & an evening group that meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7p.m. from September through May in the parlor room of Trinity United Methodist Church in Brackenridge, PA (our chartering ministry).
During the daygroup, children can be dropped off at the church nursery beginning at 9:15 am. Sorry, there is no childcare for the evening group at this time. If you would like more information before visiting, please contact Sherri Smith at 724.845.3377 or Kathy McLafferty at 724.334.8145.
Please come out & see what our MOPS groups have to offer you!
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 who could use a lift, be sure to tell them about MOPS.
Our theme this year is Adventures In Mothering!.
This theme equips moms to learn more about themselves as they go through the adventure of motherhood. They will celebrate and embrace the fun in the experiences, even in the midst of daily mom life that stretches them emotionally and spiritually.
The metaphor for Adventures in Mothering is an amusement park. With the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of the amusement park, motherhood might feel like a sensory overload. But your MOPS group will enjoy this together and learn more about themselves as women, moms and leaders.

The loving children of Trinity United Methodist Church MOPS are seeking childcare volunteers to staff the nursery during MOPS meetings, held the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. as well as their Steering meetings held the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Even if you could only help 1 time per month, please call us. Just that little bit of help could make the difference between a mom and child getting that extra support they need during this season of their life.
You can help minister to the children in either the nursery or the preschool classes.“MOPPETS” caregivers are compensated with a healthy dose of preschool hugs and moms’ undying gratitude. (not to mention a few goodies throughout the year)
We are also seeking seasoned moms who would be willing to share their wisdom with our group. We call these moms “Mentor Moms”
For more information on any of these volunteer opportunities please contact Sherri Smith at: 724-845-3377
