Join the Adventure

The MOPS International theme for 2008-09 is Adventures in Mothering. This theme equips moms to learn more about ourselves as we go through the adventure of motherhood. We will celebrate and embrace the fun in the experiences, even in the midst of daily mom life that stretches us emotionally and spiritually.

The metaphor for Adventures in Mothering is an amusement park. With the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of the amusement park, motherhood might feel like a sensory overload. But our MOPS group will enjoy this together and learn more about ourselves as women, moms and leaders.

The theme verse for Adventures in Mothering is Ephesians 3:18: “…how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” The dimensions of this verse express how God is with us in our mothering adventure, which gives us hope. God’s love is big enough for the magnitude of the adventure!

With contributors like Leslie Parrot, Liz Curtis Higgs, and many other fresh voices, you’ll appreciate our theme book for the year, The Mommy Diaries: Finding Yourself in the Daily Adventure, which focuses on:

• Reclaiming your identity as a woman
• Cultivating meaningful adult relationships
• Asking for help when you need it
• Keeping hope alive, and more!
