The MOPS Crock-Off will help the Mothers of Preschoolers program continue to minister to and prepare mothers in a crucial time. MOPS is about encouraging mothers. Some call themselves “mommies,” some are “mommas” and some are still figuring out how to change a dirty diaper while using as few wipes as possible. Some of them are trying to figure out how to store all the old clothes, some are attempting homemade baby food, some are ushering a little herd of coats and jackets around, and some are just so tired they don’t care there is something crusty on their shoulder. MOPS is about transforming and enriching lives. MOPS is a time for mothers to meet, be encouraged and learn about different aspects of parenting, while their children are cared for in a loving and nurturing environment. When we impact a mom, we impact children, families, and ultimately — our world.

Southside Church is located at 1219 Indian Creek, Brownwood, Texas 76801.
