MOPS and POPS Cookout


Each year we try to have at least one event where the whole family can attend. Our steering team wanted to make this as easy as possible for everyone so we decided to have it catered by Smithfield's Chicken and Barbeque.  This was awesome by the way. They provided all of the paper products, tea, and even serving spoons.


 
 

Since we didn't have to cook that meant we were able to eat, relax, and enjoy our time together with our families. The children ran and played on the playground, despite the heat.  It was a fun night of fellowship!
 




 
One of the best parts of MOPS is that it allows you to form friendships, and not just friendships between moms but amongst the families. It is amazing how the children grow up together, learn to love one another, and play. And let's not forget the POPS...they just might find a friend too!

Harbor Mothers of Preschoolers - Join us September 4th!


MOPS OF HARBOR meets the first and third Wednesdays, September to May, from 9:30 am to 12 noon.  We share our experiences and encourage one another through small group discussions & guest speakers.  We also enjoy refreshments and making crafts.  While the moms are meeting, our children have a great time in the MOPPETS program, with loving child care workers and a teacher who visits each room with a Bible story, crafts, games, a snack, and songs.

This year's theme is "A Beautiful Mess." We will be exploring all of the messes in our lives (organization, finances, fitness, relationships, etc.) and learning to embrace them!
