MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) is an international ministry for women with children aged newborn through kindergarten. MOPS supports the unique needs of a mom through this age and stage of parenting.
MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children. The mothers have a chance to meet with other moms and hear speakers that touch their lives emotionally and spiritually, along with receiving some practical information to help make their lives a little easier!
The First Church MOPS group meets on the second Friday of the month from 9:30-11:30 AM. Childcare is provided. Regular monthly meetings are held from September through May; however, the group also meets throughout the summer for park playdates and Moms’ Night Out events.
MOPS is open to all women -- you do not have to be a member of First Church to attend.
For more information on MOPS, contact the First Church MOPS coordinator at mops(at)firstumcnewark.org.
