MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)
The Searcy Chapter of MOPS International is so excited about this year’s program and we would love to reach as many moms as possible.
MOPS is open to all moms of birth through preschool age children. We not only offer Mom a time to get “recharged,” we also give our “Moppets” some great kid time where they can interact with other children, sing songs, participate in crafts and listen to Bible stories.
Please join us this year for a time of growth, friendship, and fun. Dues are $40 per semester which will cover your national membership, babysitting, snacks, crafts, etc. There are scholarships available for anyone in need.
Questions- Email: searcymops@yahoo.com or call Heather Kemper at 278-0236 or Chris Spearn at 593-7009. We look forward to seeing you!

More on the theme of the year:
In our homes of origin many of us learned the deepest lessons about relationship, developed life routines and acquired our tastes and preferences. And now, as moms, we long to create homes where our families can thrive and grow — and we can too.
Our homes must be safe places – physically and also emotionally safe. In them we bond, we eat and play and rest together, we decorate and provision our special home spaces. The theme the HOME factor: BEGIN HERE … GO THERE enriches our perspective and hones our abilities to create a cocoon of home.
But at its healthiest, our home experience should fill us and launch us into wider circles of investment and influence where we interact with our world. We return HOME to reconnect and refuel — but we’ll move from the HOME outwards to make a difference.
The heart of the HOME is also a picture of God’s desire to interact with us and deeply love us where we really live. He desires to make his home in our hearts. He expresses it this way in the theme verse: "...he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:17
Three key elements of this theme to explore throughout the year:
- Our homes are where we bond, cocoon, build inwardly.
- Our homes are where we refuel so that we can live fully in the world beyond.
- Our homes are a picture of Jesus' dwelling within us
