Summer MOPS:: Playdates at the park

Sadly, our regular MOPS season is over. But we're not saying goodbye!

No, ma'am.

Connect with other MOPS mamas and their kiddos at the park this summer. Each month we will meet at a new park from 10-11:30am and enjoy the (fingers crossed) sunshine. Look for the pink flamingo tablecloth, a.k.a. the "MOPS Mamas Here" beacon, and a host to greet you. And don't forget to bring your friends who may want to check out MOPS. It's the perfect setting to get to know other moms in an informal way and see what we're all about before the fall.

See you there!

An Invitation to Opal

Our own Julie Church, who spoke at MOPS earlier this year about body image, is excited to invite us moms to an important workshop being offered by her clinic, Opal.

Julie explains,"We see this workshop as perfect for the moms that are wanting to navigate this weight obsessed world for themselves and their kids with grace and truth. It would help give words to how to talk about weight with peers, family members and kids.  It would help moms sift through the science and media about weight and nutrition; coming from a Gospel-paralleled (although not blatantly Christian) approach to weight/size/body. I also think of the moms who struggle with weight themselves and who are working so hard to do things differently with their kids, to save them from the societal pressures and messages that they were victim to.  This workshop would help them have confidence in a science (and love) based approach to weight and size."
