invi~ed to join MOPS for their End of Year Celebration on May 15.

Why MOPS?! MOPS brings mothers together for fellowship with other "real" moms, personal growth, practical help, and spiritual hope.

Whether you have young kids or not, you can make a difference. Mentor Moms and MOPPETS volunteers are critical to this ministry. Mentor Moms are women walking a few steps ahead, brining perspective on mothering, womanhood and relationships, based on biblical principles and her own I ife experience. The MOPPETS program provides loving ch ildcare for the infants, toddlers and preschoolers of MOPS moms. Just two hours a month or every other month could help us expand this ministry.

Better moms make a better world. As we look toward fall, please prayerfully consider if you are being called to serve. l.oc~t;o.: 1~e Fl.C/C.~M - Co••e<:t w;tll Stepll1vvd;t., ;zo.1~;.;110,
