Ministry of Caring and Outreach:

*MOPS- MOPS meets twice a month and is a ministry for mothers of preschoolers and their children. While moms meet upstairs (to hear speakers, videos, have discussions) while their children are cared for in the youth room and Sunday school rooms. If you would like to assist this ministry here are some ways to volunteer:

Childcare Volunteer: 2-4 hours a month. This would be providing childcare for the children. Ages 6month-1 year in the nursery, 1-3 year olds are in the youth room, preschool-kindergarten meet in a Sunday School Room and school-age children also meet for a time of learning.

Donate Paper Products: Each time MOPS meets a hot breakfast is served. If you could donate plates, cups, silverware or napkins this would be a huge blessing.

Provide a breakfast: Individuals or groups are welcome to plan and prepare a breakfast for our moms.

Monetary Donations: Mops provides scholarships for moms who need help with the registration cost of $25 and other donations would be used to purchase materials and go to basic operating costs.
