What is MOPS?

 

 

 

MISSION: Oxboro Mothers of Preschoolser provides an oportunity to take a break from laundry and dishes in order to learn and grow in mothering and to connect with other moms. Our group offers support and encouragement for moms with children from birth to six years of age, focusing on the hot topics relating to our day-to-day lives as we grow into this role of "mom".
	MEETINGS: Potluck style brunch at each meeting Speakers that relate to nurturing family life and ministering to a mother's heart. Crafts, skits and other activities Adult conversation with women like you! Oxboro MOPS meets on the 2nd and 4th Friday of each month, 9:30am - 11:30am, September through May.
Mentor Moms: We are honored to have several "seasoned mothers" joining us for our meetings. They share conversation, provide reassurance, and give great hugs each Friday we are together. We treasure them for their inspiration and warmth!

 MOPS International Faith Position Statement:

MOPS International is a Christian non-profit organization that believes in working with local Christian churches to maximize ministry opportunites to Gods' Kingdom. MOPS programs are chartered in churches of many different denominations and Christian traditions, but all share the common desire to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to bring glory to God in everything.

Churches and individual MOPS ministry leaders must embrace and agree on the basic, orthodox truths of the Christian faith and the essential issues of salvation. We believe the Bible is the foundation for these truths. It is God's Word, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is authoritative on all matters on which it speaks. MOPS International is committed to telling the truth of the saving work of Jesus Christ, of God's grace to mankind, of the reality of the Trinity and the role of the Church in God's plan for the world.

Oxboro MOPS meets the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month October through May in the Video Cafe from 9:30 - 11:30 am. The Moppets (that's the preschoolers) meet downstairs with our wonderful Moppets volunteers.

MomSense: Bold, Loving, Sensible

The 2011-2012 MOPS Theme, MOMSense, equips moms to embrace their mothering instincts and develop their own parenting style while navigating through the myriad of daily mom decisions. Combining her mom intuition and her common sense helps a woman discover her own unique MomSense. Mom Intuition + Common Sense = MomSense. The book entitled Momsense: A Common Sense Guide to Mothers is written by Jean Blackmer is an inspiring and motivating model and is the basis of this year's focus.
