Welcome to the Atchison County MOPS blog.
A Beautiful Mess is the theme 2013-2014.
Addressing the felt needs of moms through this theme:
Moms live in messes. The toys, crumbs, and spit-up are their natural surroundings. Moms often feel like a mess. They are exhausted, under-showered, and hormonal. Their past and present circumstances and decisions can leave them feeling inadequate for God’s love and purposes. A Beautiful Mess — reminds moms that beauty can come out of their difficult spots. The grime of mothering young children brings the beauty of motherhood. The bruises of life can bring God’s redemption. Embrace Your Story — reminds moms that their past, present and future can be used for good. God knows where each of us has been, where we are today and has set in motion where we are headed.
Theme Verse: Ephesians 2:10 (New Living Translation)
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
So you may be asking yourself...what is MOPS?
MOPS
stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, a program designed to encourage mothers
with children under school age through relationships and resources. These women
come from different backgrounds and lifestyles, yet have similar needs and a
shared desire to be the best mothers they can be!
A
MOPS group provides a caring, accepting atmosphere for today’s mother of
preschoolers. Here she has an opportunity to share concerns, explore areas of
creativity and hear instruction that equips her for the responsibilities of
family and community.
The
MOPS program typically includes MOPPETS, a loving, learning experience for
children.
Approximately
4,000 groups meet in churches throughout the United States, Canada and 35 other
countries, to meet the needs of more than 100,000 women. Many more mothers are
encouraged by MOPS resources, including MomSense magazine, the MOPS
International website, various publications and books.
If
you are an expecting mother or a mother of preschool age children please join
us for our first meeting on September
17, from 8:30-10:30 at First Baptist Church, HWY 59 S, Tarkio, MO 64491.
