MOPPETS

The MOPPETS Program is designed to be a safe, loving and creative place where your children can have fun while you receive a needed break. The dedicated MOPPETS volunteers provide individual attention to each child during the MOPS meeting. 

Children enjoy going to MOPPETS because they love the activities and interaction with friends.

Songs MOPPETS learn this year...

"Do Not Be Afraid" (to the tune of B-I-N-G-O)

God says "Do not be afraid
be anxious for nothing
In ev'rything ask and pray
in ev'rything ask and pray
In ev'rything ask and pray
Do Not be Afraid."

"Apples of Gold" (tune of London Bridges)

Apples of gold from our mouth,
from our mouth, from our mouth.
Apples of gold, from our mouth,
In settings of silver.

Use our words to help not hurt,
Help, not hurt: help, hot hurt.
Use our words to help, not hurt.
Encourage each other.

"We have Different Gifts" (tune of Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes)

We have different gifts-different gifts.
We have different gifts-different gifts.
Ac-cording to the grace given us.
We have different gifts-different gifts!

Leaves are Falling  (tune of Are You Sleeping?)

Leaves are falling, leaves are falling
On the ground, all around
Leaves are falling, leaves are falling
On the ground, all around.

God made seasons, God made seasons
Summer, spring, winter and fall
God made seasons, God made seasons
Summer, spring, winter and fall.
