We're so glad you have found your way to our website, and we can't
wait to share with you all the exciting things MOPS can provide
you. This MOPS group has been in existence since 1998 and is located
in West Cobb County on the corner of Macland Rd. and Lost Mountain
Rd. in Powder Springs. MOPS is a nonprofit, nondenominational

meet on the first and third Thursday of the month, September through
May. Some of the things we do at the meetings include:
- have
breakfast every meeting, taking turns bringing food
- have
speakers relevant to this important phase of life
- have
small group discussion time to foster closer relationships
- do
a craft from start to finish without being interrupted
- have
monthly activities outside of our MOPS meetings which include
Mom's Night Out and playgroups
- publish
a newsletter twice a month to share helpful information with our
members
While
the mother's needs are being met, the children (infants to pre-kindergarten)
are involved in their own special program called MOPPETS. During
our meetings the babies are cared for by the church nursery staff
who have to meet state guidelines. The potty trained children have
a carefully planned classroom time which includes activities such
as
- craft

first! Hopefully, MOPS will provide an environment for you to feel
comfortable and get real.
Here
