MOPS is about ...

Celebrating motherhood
Meeting needs
Making Connections
Experiencing God’s love...through relationships and resources.

MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban, and rural moms, stay-at-home and career moms, teen, single, and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

Brandon MOPS, a charter group of MOPS International, desires to embrace all preschool moms that want to connect with other moms in an accepting, non-denominational meeting environment where commonalties – motherhood and spiritual encouragement – can be shared. Evening meetings include dinner, social interaction, topical discussions and occasional guest speakers and crafts. The children attend a preschool-like program called MOPPETS for dinner and activities. Brandon MOPS also meets for outside activities through play dates for moms and kids and Mom’s Night Out events.

Brandon MOPS meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Brandon SDA Church (September through May), 1221 W. Victoria St., Brandon, FL 33510, next door to Brandon High School.

The MOPS 2007-08 THEME: In our homes of origin many of us learned the deepest lessons about relationship, developed life routines and acquired our tastes and preferences. And now, as moms, we long to create homes where our families can thrive and grow — and we can too.

Our homes must be safe places – physically and also emotionally safe. In them we bond, we eat and play and rest together, we decorate and provision our special home spaces. The theme the HOME factor: BEGIN HERE … GO THERE enriches our perspective and hones our abilities to create a cocoon of home.

But at its healthiest, our home experience should fill us and launch us into wider circles of investment and influence where we interact with our world. We return HOME to reconnect and refuel — but we’ll move from the HOME outwards to make a difference.

The heart of the HOME is also a picture of God’s desire to interact with us and deeply love us where we really live. He desires to make his home in our hearts. He expresses it this way in the theme verse: "...he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:17
