Q: Can I come to both MOPs and MOMSnext?
A: YES! This year, the two programs are combined.
With so many changes this year, we are simplifying and combining both programs, so you are welcome to join ALL of our meetings, even if your children are older! We will have a combination of morning and evening meetings.
Q: Is there childcare for school-aged children at MOPs on Thursday mornings?
A: Our goal is to have childcare for children ages 6 and under. We currently need more volunteers to make this happen, and would appreciate your help in getting the word out!
If there are any weeks that we cannot provide childcare we will make this known ahead of time and adjust our space/and plan to accommodate meeting in the same room as our children.
Q: Is there childcare at evening meetings?
A: No, there is not.
If you are struggling to find a sitter, or cannot pay for childcare, please contact Tara at tdarling@immanuelrapids.com to connect with volunteers who might be willing to help.
Q: What is the schedule for the 2021-2022 Year?
A: Below is the MOPs official schedule for the 2021-2022 year.
We will continue to remain flexible if Covid precautions cause any changes to our schedule. Masks are required (as you are able) for all indoor meetings until otherwise noted. I will continue to update the schedule below as we solidify plans with speakers and fill in other topics/discussions.
