Mops // MOMSnext

ALL MOMS ARE INVITED
1st and 3rd Tuesdays, 6-8 p.m.
Whether you are a soon-to-be mom, first-time mom, seventh-time mom, adoptive mom, young mom, seasoned mom, foster mom, or stepmom,  you are welcome here.  This is a place for food, friends, and fellowship.

MOPS and MOMSnext is a faith-based organization where mothers can come together to share the joys and struggles of motherhood. At  MOPS meetings, we eat, learn, and encourage one another.

The MOPS theme for the year is "Say Yes."
Saying Yes means we will:
Befriend discomfort // Be easily delighted // Be here now
ZECHARIAH 4:10 NLT 
Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…

THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR TO SAY YES

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.

Now is your opportunity to develop a spirit of adventure and make new memories. Now is your chance to invite your kids along for the thrill that comes with doing hard things. You are wildly capable. Get uncomfortable. Persevere and say yes to the next small brave step God asks you to take.
