Our Year Has Begun

Hello MOPS Moms,
Just wanted to bring everyone up to speed on our new year.  If you are new to our Leavenworth MOPS group, or just checking out the blog for the first time, be sure to scroll down and see the earlier posts from this year.  Our Steering Team members and their phone numbers are on the left hand side below this year's theme logo (Momology: the Art and Science of Mothering).  Feel free to give any of us a call with your questions or concerns.  And the Mentor Moms are eager to help you navigate all the crazy, exciting, challenging, exhausting (and a hundred other adjectives) things that we Mothers of Preschoolers come up against every day.

Welcome, we look forward to seeing you on October 13th, 9:30 at the Leavenworth Church of the Nazarene!

-Anna, for the MOPS Steering Team
