MOTHER’S OF PRESCHOOLERS

We welcome moms of preschool children… urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms… all moms who share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! This year’s theme… MomSense.

Developing a mothering strategy is somewhat like playing a game. It involves being bold, taking risks, loving those in the game with us, being sensible, all while figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Sometimes, unexpected events occur… abruptly changing our paths. That’s when we must regroup and determine our next steps. Why not team together with other moms? It’s part of a great strategy.

Join us! We meet the 1st & 3rd Thursday mornings & evenings each month.
The Second Semester began in January and runs thru May.
Morning Session: 9:15-11:30a // Evening Session: 7-9p (Childcare is not available)
Location for both sessions: NorthRidge Plymouth, Room 1201

Children Enjoy Coming Too!: The MOPPETS Program (available during the morning session) is designed to be a safe, loving and creative place where your children can have fun while you receive a needed break. The dedicated MOPPETS workers provide individual attention to each child during the MOPS meeting.

GRACE FULL QUILTS

We offer comfort to those in need by gifting them with a hand crafted quilt. Our purpose is to enjoy community as we quilt together, pray over each of our projects and encourage each other to grow stronger in our faith.

Do you have scraps of leftover fabric stuffed in drawers, spilling out of boxes, or tucked in your sewing box? Now you can give them a second life while helping others. Some of our quilts have been gifted to our missionaries, Katrina victims, service men overseas and duffel bag projects for children in Foster Care.

Novices and experts are welcomed. Even non-sewers are welcome to learn as they go! We also need volunteers to keep track of inventory, take pictures, cut, iron, deliver quilts, and pray.

KNITTY CHICKS

Interested in knitting or crocheting? We have donated yarn and outreach projects so you can knit or crochet to your heart’s content without damaging your budget. We currently are making preemie hats, booties, blankets, and issolet covers for Hutzel Hospital, as well as mittens for City Mission, decorative scarves for the duffel bag project, and 8” squares for afghans going to Africa.

We pray for others as we make our projects and attach Bible verses to each item made. If you want to use your gifts to gift others in need, this may be the group for you. It’s hard to believe that doing outreach work can be so much fun. Women of all ages and all skill levels welcome. Join us on new projects or even bring your own.
