IS BEING A MOTHER WHAT YOU EXPECTED?

If you're like most moms, you found that when you became a mother your heart swelled with a love for your child much greater than you could ever have imagined.  As time passes, that love continues to grow and you know you are changed forever.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THE UNSPEAKABLE JOY YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING A MOTHER.

And you're not alone in your frustrations at not always handling motherhood the way you'd like.  Portage Area MOPS meets regularly to celebrate the joys of motherhood and to encourage each other through the challenges of raising preschoolers.  MOPS offers encouragement, friendships, instruction, and affirmation.

WHAT HAPPENS AT MOPS?

A typical morning at MOPS starts off with signing your children into the loving care of our MOPPETS childcare providers.  Then you can begin to make the most of a few hours to yourself!

A typical evening at MOPS starts off with you arriving (alone at last!) to enjoy a few hours of conversation, instruction... and more conversation!

Whether day or night, enjoy a snack while socializing with other moms.  Announcements, celebrations, and occasional door prizes follow.

Grow as a woman, mother, and leader through presentations on topics relevant to our needs as moms of preschoolers (birth to 6 years) and moms-to-be.

Receive encouragement and inspiration from other moms as you continue on your journey to renew yourself and to raise healthy, happy children & families during small group discussions.

We also have a craft time at some of our meetings.
