Brave Moms


"Be You Bravely" is our theme of the year and our kick-off meeting was all about facing our fears and putting on our capes, badges, boots, and parachutes.  

We had a wonderful turn-out with lots of new moms and many veteran MOPS mommas.  This year also brought us new mentors, Brenda thanks for the great conversation and your sugar cookies! Kris was involved w MOPS as a mom and is now providing us with valuable advice.  Sweet Arlene is with us again this year and led off our year with a devotion meant to encourage us to get out of our shells. Dana and Deanna welcome aboard! 

To recognize Brave moms everywhere our small groups were divided into four small groups, Super Heroes,  Military, Adrenaline Junkies, and American Heroes.  



It wouldn't be a complete MOPS meeting without a game ....and food of course! Paula tuned in to our competitive sides and set us off on a relay race.   The American Heroes won the race by feeding, changing a diaper, drinking water and rocking the baby to sleep - they are quite the pros at this stuff. 

A big shout out to our Sponsors for the year! Thank you for supporting Decatur MOPS.   Our moms are out and about daily and the services you provide are a blessing to our kids!

Hope to see all our moms with their families at our first family BBQ on Sep 5th at 6:30 at the pavilion at First Bible.  Bring your outdoor games, it will be fun.
