Mothers of Preschoolers! MOPS 
Every 1st and 3rd Thursday from 9:15am to 11:15am in the Fellowship Hall resuming in the fall. 

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.

This year our MOPS group focused on the six needs of motherhood through study and discussion of "What Every Mom Needs" by Carol Kuykendall and Elisa Morgan.

Our new year begins in September and our theme is Adventures in Mothering. A registration form can be downloaded from this site.  Stay tuned for more information about our exciting 2008-09 year or contact Rendy Horner at 602-866-9191! 

A minimal fee of $5 per meeting is requested. Various pay methods are available as are confidential scholarships. Refer to the MOPS registration form for more information.
