Jersey Shore MOPS group gears up for new year
JERSEY SHORE — The Mothers of Preschoolers International group 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, according to Brenda Campbell, publicity coordinator for the Jersey Shore MOPS group. The Jersey Shore MOPS chapter was started in 1993 and meets from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, September through May, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 1407 Allegheny St. Children may be brought to the “MOPPETS” rooms as early as 9:15 a.m. According to Campbell, the MOPS meetings begin with a brunch, and each meeting the group rotates who gives the food. Then, the devotions leader gives a brief devotional and prays for the needs of moms. Every other meeting, the creative activities leader plans a craft for each of the mothers to do and take home.
