MOPS

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban, and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single, and married moms - who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children. MOPS also encourages and supports moms through resources such as books, this Web site, the daily MOMSense Radio program, and the MOPS to Mom Connection.

MOPS at Kennebec Baptist Church meets on the second and fouth Monday of each month. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. and the nursery (Moppets) opens at 9:15 a.m. While the Moms are in class the children participate in Bible study and crafts. This is a great time of fun and enjoyment for both Moms and their children!
