MEET the MOPS Leadership Team and GREET other moms of preschoolers. Learn a little about the MOPS program that launches in January and join in some Christmas Mom Fun! You don't need to be a member. Free event and free childcare.

MOPS Play Date – December 21 is our first MOPS Play Date. School is out for some school systems. Bring all of your kids for a Mom's Play Date from 9:30 - 11:30. Meet us on the playground for games, bounce house and fun. Chat and meet other moms. You don't need to be a member of MOPS. Spread the word and invite friends and neighbors of preschoolers to come to our two MOPS December events. Sign-up sheets are on the Kiosk in the Atrium. 

We are inviting our preschool moms, church moms and anyone else in the community to join us.  So, whether you are a soon-to-be-mom, first-time mom, or seventh-time mom, you are welcome here. Whether you are an adoptive, young, seasoned, foster, step, or any other type of mom, you are welcome here.  If you know someone, let them know about MOPS at St. Andrew. Remarkable things happen at a MOPS meeting. We will build small groups of moms who meet to share their hopes, fellowship, and insights with other moms by sharing in Bible lessons, games, videos, crafts, service projects and play dates.
