MOPS stands for Mothers Of Preschoolers, a program designed to nurture mothers with children from infancy through Kindergarten. Expectant moms are welcome too! We are so glad you are visiting our site. We hope you find information and inspiration here. We are a group of Moms dedicated to meeting the needs of every mother of preschoolers. Moms need Moms! They need to know they are not alone--that there are other mothers facing challenges, loneliness, and heartfelt desire to be the best mom they can possibly be. Moms matter at Hilldale, so we are extending an invitation to you to come enjoy crafts, food, encouraging speakers, discussion and christian fellowship with us twice a month and be uplifted and appreciated as a mother. Everyone needs a break, right? A mother's job never ends...there's no time off, lunch break, time clock to clock out. So, come take a break & do something for yourself! Your children will be lovingly cared for in MOPPETS while you enjoy the meeting. We, the Steering Team, are excited about making this a wonderful year of discovery & hope as we journey through this ride called "Mothering"! This year's theme,"The Adventures in Mothering" promises to be helpful, exciting, and fun!

This theme equips moms to learn more about themselves as they go through the adventure of motherhood. We will celebrate and embrace the fun in the experiences, even in the midst of daily mom-life that stretches us emotionally and spiritually. The knowledge that God is with us on the mothering adventure gives hope. God's love is big enough for the magnitude of the adventure!

This year's theme builds off of last year's theme, 'dwell well'. "so that Chirst may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.' EPH 3:17-18

Don't miss your chance to get refueled, reconnected and rejuvenated as a mom. Your first meeting is free. Childcare is always provided! Some membership fees apply. See you in 2008 and 2009!

Join us for the Ride of your life!

Our Mission Statement is: "Every mom needs the encouragement, friendships, and support that God's love has to offer through MOPS."

MOPS is about...
-Celebrating motherhood

-Meeting needs

-Making connections

-Experiencing God's love

...through relationships and resources.

You don't have to do mothering alone. Whether you need a friend to compare stories with, a shoulder to lean on, or ideas to help you be a better mom-Hilldale MOPS is just the place. Experience warmth and shared wisdom from other moms, not all the same age, lifestyles or backgrounds, but all with a shared desire to be the best mothers they can be.
