We are looking for YOU!!! Mentor Moms are needed for our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. The only requirement is that you want to see women grow as women, wives, and mothers. Mentors serve a much-needed purpose in MOPS, especially in our mobile society where many young mothers may be raising families far away from extended family. Does this sound like you? Please contact Gail Schumacher at 532-5825.

Mentor Moms needed
MOPS needs a few "experienced" moms to come to our meetings. If you are a Christian and have been married 20+ years, then MOPS needs you!! In today's world, so many of us do not live near our mothers, but we long for a mother figure. Don't be worried about not having all the answers - the moms really just want you there! They need your presence, attention, support and cheerleading during this season of life. If you are interested, please call Gail at 970-532-5825.
Upcoming Meetings and Events
Night MOPS
From Ft. Collins to Boulder, we would love to have you join us at Night MOPS, especially if you are unable to attend the various morning MOPS groups that are around the area. Perhaps you work during the day, home school or have some other conflict, it's still important for women and especially moms of young children to connect with each other. Join us as we celebrate Adventures in Mothering! If you are interested in joining Night MOPS during the 2008-2009 school year, please contact Stephanie Wach at 303-684-8780 or Stephaniewach@hotmail.com.
April 22nd - The Swimsuit Lesson
Author Detective Jon Holsten provides a realistic view of the danger facing children today - and what families can do to reduce chances of being victimized. A poignant, informative and surprisingly humorous and touching presentation, Jon Holsten shares stories, lessons and strategies we all need to learn to keep the precious children in our lives safe from harm.
