Mothers of Preschoolers! MOPS 
Every 1st and 3rd Thursday from 9:15am to 11:15am in the LIFE building. 

If you are or know a mother of a preschooler that could use 2 hours of social time, encouragement and parenting education twice a month, consider MOPS at All Saints. The moms have great programming while their children are cared for in a loving learning environment.
