Launch Pad

For many of us moms, we have never known life beyond the preschool years, and the thought of kindergarten looming ahead on the horizon can be a bit scary. For others of us, we have had experience with older siblings graduating from the preschool years to move on into the school years. But, even for those seasoned moms, sometimes a little refresher can always prove helpful, especially when it is easy for us moms to forget from one child to the next which milestones the kids are supposed to (or did) reach when.

At our next MOPS meeting, Kindergarten teacher, Kelsey Graham, will discuss with us some valuable tips for preparing our little ones for kindergarten. She will discuss what will be expected of the kids upon entering school, what things we as moms can do to help them prepare and make their transition smoother and less scary, and how we can make this time fun for both the kids and the parents.

So come join us on Monday, May 10th from 9:00am - 11:00am in the Family Life Center of First Christian Church. Breakfast is being provided to us by the Fire and Water care groups. With only two meetings to go this school year and such a valuable and informative topic that applies to us all, you won't want to miss it!

Navigating Unsafe Relationships

Being in relationships is a natural, God-given desire that we all have. But sometimes, those relationships can be unsafe. Often times, when we hear the term "unsafe relationship", we assume a physically abusive relationship with a spouse, but this is not always the case. Often, unsafe relationships can be unsafe in many different forms, such as physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. And many times, these relationships are not with a spouse, but rather with another family member (such as a parent or sibling) or even with a friend.



At our next MOPS meeting, we will be exploring the concept of unsafe relationships. This is a very serious and important topic, because even if you are not in an unsafe relationship yourself, you may know of a friend or family member that is. We will be watching a 17 minute video on the topic to discover ways to identify unsafe relationships and learn how to keep our families and our friends S.A.F.E. in all of our relationships. A representative from Springhaven will also be with us to talk to anyone who may need help in a current relationship.



So come join us on Monday, April 26th from 9:00am - 11:00am in the Family Life Center of First Christian Church. Breakfast is being provided to us by the Wind Care Group.
