• "It has helped me examine what God wants for me and what part He plays in raising my family."
• "I leave feeling very uplifted. I truly think it has made me a better mom."
• "It has made me slow down and talk to other women and realize I am not the only one who is stressed."
• "My family and I have returned to church this year on a regular basis."
• "I have become a more confident mother and wife."

These are comments made by women whose lives are being transformed each week at Trinity. So what is this life-changing ministry?

MOPS is a support group for mothers with infants through kindergartners. It is a place to come to feel valued and to discover how to become a better wife, mother and friend. Mothers with young children have many unique struggles -- isolation, helplessness, and fatigue, to name a few. MOPS seeks to meet those needs by providing a time for women to hear godly speakers, to discuss their feelings and frustrations, to complete a craft, and to build friendships. All this happens while their children are being cared for in a loving environment.

When MOPS began at Trinity in 1996, the planning committee prayed that it would eventually reach out into the community. Since its inception, MOPS has touched the lives of over 200 women and 300 children. In fact, the Thursday morning group had grown so large that a Tuesday evening group was added last year! Lives are being changed weekly as mothers learn to give God control of themselves and their families. Many members at Trinity have become involved at MOPS not only as participants, but as speakers, mentors, storytellers, and teachers. We would love your involvement as well.
