Kick Off Meeting!

It's all about FRIENDSHIPS!!!! So very important to every mom-to have FRIENDS! This was our topic for our kick off meeting! How appropriate...right? We got to meet so many new moms today-it was awesome! I see some lifelong friendships being made in this group!

We ended the meeting with a super fun craft! After all, how often as a mom, do we get to actually sit down and work on something for us...uninterrupted...start to finish? Rare! Right? :) Rachel & Michelle (crafts team) did a fantastic job picking out this beautiful bracelet for us to make! It was a lot of fun & we had a pretty finished product!

Thank you to ALL that came to our kick off meeting yesterday! We are already looking forward to December's meeting! We have a lot of fun stuff planned!

We welcome you to join us for our 1st MOPS meeting on 
November 1, 2012 from 9:30am-11:00am.

We look forward to seeing you there!

       MOPS at The Turning Pointe, UMC is a group of mothers of preschoolers—a community that strives to meet the needs of every mom with children from birth through preschool through community, mentoring, practical instruction, and leadership development. Childcare is provided during our MOPS meetings, which are held right here on The Turning Pointe's campus on the 1st Thursday of each month from 9:30 AM to11:00 AM. MOPS itself is an international organization, and we welcome you to check out their full website in the above tab.

       In the realm of community, MOPS provides an open, caring, and accepting atmosphere where women can come together to share this important season of life. Regarding mentoring, MOPS allows women to listen, encourage, and offer information and perspectives gained through experience. For practical instruction, MOPS focuses on areas of common interest, offering inspiration and information that is relevant to the life of a mother. Regarding leadership development, MOPS groups are organized and run both by mothers of preschoolers and for mothers of preschoolers. Women who are involved in MOPS can gain confidence in their leadership skills through the training and experience they receive from MOPS.

       MOPS groups the world over recognize that urban, suburban, and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single, and married moms all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be. There are more than 3900 MOPS groups meeting across the United States and in 35 countries around the world. MOPS groups meet regularly to celebrate the joys of motherhood and to encourage each other through the challenges. 

We look forward to welcoming you to our next MOPS meeting here at The Turning Pointe!
