MOPS@
MOPS@ is a small group-based MOPS programme. This simple format allows churches and other Christian ministries the flexibility to reach out to mums in a home, work-place, community centre, or even a local coffee shop.
MOPS@ is designed for a small group of women, ideally between six and twelve. The streamlined programme requires only one or two leaders.
Most MOPS@ meetings are one to two hours in length. Typically, the majority of time is spent on teaching and discussion, with things like food, crafts and MOPPETS included depending on the group's needs and desires.
Instead of having speakers, the teaching is often carried out using a Simply MOPS Curriculum or by reading and discussing a book together.
