About MOPS
Welcome at MOPS
As a new mum there was one phrase that just about made me gag… mothers group… ARGHH!! Continue reading “Welcome at MOPS”
Finding Your Fire in 2019
I love the start of a new year. Blank pages in a diary. A new calendar hanging on the wall. A blank slate, with days that stretch ahead full of the unknown. I also love filling those pages, making plans, organising myself, my family and others. Continue reading “Finding Your Fire in 2019”
Farewell, adieu, and a peek into next year!
It seems like just yesterday I was writing to you about the new theme for 2018 and, here we are, just 9 sleeps away from another Christmas Day and once again it is time for me to bid you farewell for another blog year. Continue reading “Farewell, adieu, and a peek into next year!”
Roll out the red carpet.. it’s award season!!
What a delight and a privilege it has been for the MOPS Board to receive nominations for MOPS Awards from MOPS leaders around the country recognising the significant contribution of their fellow leaders.

Refuelled
MOPS Australia exists to encourage and equip mums of young children to realise their potential as mothers, women and leaders in relationship with Jesus, and in partnership with the local church. This mission statement not only applies to the women from communities all over Australia that walk into a MOPS group each fortnight, but to the women that serve by running these groups. This year, over 300 of those women gathered in various locations at our state leadership training conferences.

It is a place where developing the art of mothering becomes a shared journey.
Here are six things to expect when you come to a MOPS group:

MOPS (and Mars Bars).
Hi Everyone!
Now, I’m not a betting woman, (unless there are Mars Bars involved) but I’d be willing to bet money (or probably just Mars Bars) on the idea that if you’ve found your way to this blog you probably know a little bit about MOPS already. Continue reading “MOPS (and Mars Bars).”
Come ‘Just as You Are’
One of the catch cries of MOPS is that you can come, “just as you are”, and you will find warmth and acceptance.
This means you can turn up at MOPS without your makeup or perfectly straightened hair. You can share that your kids had weetbix for tea last night because you didn’t have the energy to cook and that your three and half year old is still not toilet trained and you are at your wits end.
