MOPS Ministry of Gretna Baptist Church:

 

Purpose Statement:

MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

GBC Evening MOPS:

This unique evening meeting format will provide moms who work inside or outside of the home the opportunity to grow as women and mothers through a speaker, discussion group time, creative activity, and “Mentor Moments”.

 

For mothers who are single or who have husbands who are working in the evening: The MOPPETS program will be available to those who wish to bring their children to the MOPS meeting.  Infants through 2 year olds will have excellent care in the church nursery, while 3 to 5 year olds will participate in “Lively Bible Lessons”.  There will also be a homework/reading room available for older children while mom has some time for herself.  New moms who are bringing their children for MOPPETS need to pre-register with Erin at 332-5078.
