MOPS
Welcome to GRACE MOPS!
“Here at MOPS, we are on a mission to celebrate motherhood.
We build circles of women who love each other like family, because raising humans is beautiful and hard, and having each other to lean on is life-giving. That’s why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own cities, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of being a mom.
This is motherhood, and together we can change the world in all the best ways.”

Mothers of Preschoolers
Grace MOPS meets September through May on the second Friday of the month from 9:30-11:30 am at church. Their children come to MOPS Kids, which meets in the Youth and Junior High rooms where they are cared for by dedicated childcare workers.
The Goal of our Mop Kids program is to support our MOPS moms, and to care for, protect, and provide a loving Christian environment for their children to learn and grow.
If you would like help with childcare, contact Dolly Jenkins-812-989-3093 or Brenda Alford-812-246-5262. Thank you.

Grace MOPS offers two types of meetings:

MomsNext: 1st grade and above aged kiddos. Childcare NOT provided.
More information regarding MomsNext:
Unlike MOPS groups, where moms are newly in the throes of motherhood, MOMSnext moms are in the rhythm of parenting. However, as their children grow, they are encountering new and specific parenting challenges. Despite the overload of information accessible to them, moms do not know where they should turn to get answers. They also have a new ability to lift their heads and see the broader world around them. They are in a phase of personal growth where they may have more freedom to pursue professional or personal interests now that their children are older.
Meeting times:
MOPS second Friday of the month (September-May) 9:15-11:30am in Fireside Room
MOMSNext Fourth Thursday of the month (Sept-May) 6:30-8:30pm in Fireside Room
Dues:
MOPS only $40 for year — MOMSnext $40 for year.
Have children in both age groups?? Registration for both is $50. (New moms are welcome to attend two meetings before paying dues.)
