Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) New Braunfels

Next meeting: October 9th

By Jennifer Gottschalk, New Braunfels Macaroni Kid September 17, 2014

As fellow mothers of young children, we have to stick together! That’s why I joined a group called Mothers of Preschoolers, or MOPS, after my daughter was born.

Joining MOPS was a great decision for me for many reasons, but probably most importantly because it introduced me to other women who knew exactly what I was going through in this mothering adventure. I’ve made lasting friendships and have had such a wonderful resource for those ‘crazy’ parenting questions that always seem to pop up (and, even better, nobody thinks I’m crazy to ask!).

MOPS 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.  Membership is open to any mother with children under age 6. We get together monthly –usually the first Thursday evening of the month – for fellowship and a little “me” time.

Please let us know what questions you have and if you’d like to join us at the next meeting. Feel free to just show up too! You are always welcome to join us at the First United Methodist Church in Wesley Hall (FUMC is located downtown New Braunfels at 572 W. San Antonio Street, but Wesley Hall is best accessed via Mill Street.)

A one-time annual fee of $23.95 and a $6/meeting fee are the only associated cost, and your first meeting is free. Meeting are held from 6:15 – 8:30 pm . Childcare may be made available based on availability and RSVP. Let me know what questions you have!

I’m extremely excited to have the opportunity to reach out to moms in New Braunfels both through Macaroni Kid and MOPS. There are several mom/parent organizations throughout our great town, and I hope to tell you about those in the weeks to come, too. If you would like for Macaroni Kid to feature your group, just email me! jenniferg@macaronikid.com

 

There are also two other local MOPS groups that you should check out if the timing or location of this MOPS group does not meet your needs:
