The Steering Committee for the Andalusia-area M.O.P.S., or Mothers of Preschoolers, met on Mon., Nov. 8, to discuss the start of the program in January of 2011.

The MOPS meetings are a time of support, fellowship, learning and respite for mothers with preschoolers. Their children, or “moppets,” will have childcare provided.

First Presbyterian Church is the chartering organization for MOPS, but it is a community-wide ministry with several churches involved. If you are interested in attending or supporting the program, please call First Presbyterian at 222-5352.
