What is Calvary MOPS? The stage of early motherhood carries with it deep joys as well as great challenges. Calvary MOPS is a group of moms who come together to offer support and encouragement from the moment you find out you’re expecting to when your children begin school. MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is a part of a larger organization called MOPS International.

Who is Calvary MOPS for? If you are an expectant mom or the mom of one or more infants to preschoolers, we would love to have you join us for some quality mama time of love, laughter, and learning.

When does Calvary MOPS meet? We meet at Calvary on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from September-May from 9:30-11:30am.

 

2023-2024 Season

We are excited to announce the theme for this season of MOPS: Say Yes

 

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…”  Zechariah 4:10 NLT 

“Have you ever gotten to the end of a week, month or year and thought, "How did I get here? Where has the time gone?" It happens in our parenting, friendships, marriage and work- we get caught up in the urgent demands of the day-to-day, and then years go by, and we realize we haven't been making the small choices that will get us where we actually wanted to be. So this is the year to make some moves.

SAY “YES."

It's amazing how one little word can change your life. But too often, our 'yeses' are reserved for default decisions we aren't even intentionally making or the stuff we feel obligated to do. What if we started saying 'yes' to the important things? Yes, to parenting on purpose. Yes, to significant challenges and out-of-your-comfort-zone opportunities. Yes, to your marriage. Invitations to connect with others? Yes, please. Saying yes opens us up to new ways of thinking and helps cultivate a growth mindset. To clarify, we're not talking about people-pleasing or over-extending yourself. In fact, it’s the opposite. Developing a 'yes' mindset is living intentionally, focused on your goals for yourself and your family. It's about listening to God's still, small voice and doing the brave things rather than the easy things.

Saying Yes means we will: befriend discomfort, be easily delighted, and be here now.”
